Leah M. Taylor, WHCNP

Leah has always wanted to work in women’s health. Her journey to being a Women’s Health Care Nurse Practitioner was slightly circuitous, but ensuring quality access to women’s health care at all stages has been a priority for her since she was a teenager. She loves doing gynecology care: she enjoys seeing patients move from being teenagers who are figuring out what birth control works best for them to patients who are going through perimenopause and menopause, along with all the stops along the way. She also holds a special love for older women, in part due to several years spent as a geriatrics RN. She wants to work with women and folks with vaginas to ensure they can optimize their own health in ways that are meaningful to them and that align with their lives. She is here to support patients with health education, quality care and good listening skills. In her free time, she is a pretty typical Portlander: she reads, hikes, and paddleboards. Mostly with her partner, and sometimes with our extended family. She also spends a lot of her time knitting and has knit much of her winter wardrobe, so if you see her in a sweater, it’s probably handknit!
