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.

Ms. O'Brien is a very caring patient Nurse Practitioner with osteoporosis information. She took this condition seriously and followed up by ordering blood tests to check for various conditions that could impact this diagnosis. She is very thorough and knowledgeable. Please give her a raise! :) Folks like her are hard to find!
