About Joanne M. O'Brien
I was born in San Francisco and raised in Marin County. I left idyllic Marin for Appalachia in southeast Ohio, where I resided for 22 years. As an RN, in rural America, I primarily worked in home care, where I experienced the hardships and beauty of rural life, in some of the poorest regions (including West Virginia). I managed a home hospice program for two years. This motivated me to return to school and I attended one of the first distance learning programs to obtain my masters in nursing and family nurse practitioner degree. I worked primarily in primary care, but also worked in pulmonology, long-term care and college health (I always had a least two jobs at a time). During my time in Ohio, I served as a volunteer EMT and firefighter on a rural fire department. There is no textbook that can replace what I learned during those sleepless nights. I relocated to Oregon in 2017 and worked as a NP provider for an inpatient hospice program. I ultimately returned to primary care in a rural, underserved county in Oregon where I worked as the sole provider in a satellite clinic. I ultimately decided to return here to Northern California where my entire family resides.

Joanne O'Brien was prepared by reviewing my medical record and was very concerned about my bone density problem. She listened to my concerns and was sympathetic regarding my inability to access prescribed medicine. She sensed the urgency of restarting bone medicine treatment. She ordered the necessary tests to get me restarted on correct medicine. Very thorough and knowledgeable and kind.
