Carolyn L. Lekavich, NP
Overview
I am a nurse practitioner who works with adults who have heart and blood vessel conditions. My PhD focused on finding early indicators of a specific type of heart failure. My favorite part of my job is connecting with patients and letting them know that we are here to listen and make them feel better. I like to know about patients’ home lives and other lifestyle factors, so we can build those factors into a medical plan that works for them.
