Beth provides care to pediatric patients in all stages of growth and development. “I enjoy the variety of working with children of all ages,” she said. Her most recent research has focused on pediatric obesity, mental health, developmental pediatrics and neonatal care. Beth built a solid foundation for her time as a pediatric nurse practitioner as a registered nurse (RN). After becoming an RN in 2005, she spent over ten years working in medical centers in Texas. Prior to joining PeaceHealth, she spent the last several years treating the underserved population as a pediatric nurse practitioner at Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic. She is proficient in Spanish. “I strive to teach children how to make healthy choices and prevent disease so that they can grow to be healthy adults,” she said. Outside of her clinical practice, Beth enjoys spending time with her husband, son and daughter. They enjoy camping, hiking, gardening and crafting with one another.
