About:
Working as a nurse for the past 13 years, Debra Painter, NP-C, has always
enjoyed taking care of people. She decided she wanted to become a nurse
practitioner so she could help patients with the prevention and education
of acute and chronic diseases. “Education is a key part of prevention
and I want to help educate, not just treat patients,” said Debra.
“I chose family health because I wanted to take care of patients
at all ages. I feel at home here at Good Samaritan and cannot see myself
practicing anywhere else.” Debra and her husband, Jim, have been
married for 24 years and reside in Claremont, Illinois. Together with
their two sons, Marcus and Owen, they enjoy spending time outdoors, especially
during the warm seasons. Debra also likes to landscape, garden, complete
home improvement projects, camp, fish, ride motorcycles and trail ride
on ATV’s.
