Lasting, meaningful relationships 💫

It's National Nurse Practitioner Week! Meet Shalini Balram, C.R.N.P., family medicine nurse practitioner at our Urbana practice.

"My favorite part about being a nurse practitioner in family medicine is getting to grow and evolve with my patients throughout their lives. It’s such a privilege to care for them during some of their most vulnerable moments and to build lasting, meaningful relationships along the way. Being born and raised in Maryland, I take great pride in giving back to the community that shaped me, providing care that’s holistic, compassionate, and truly patient-centered." 🌿
