Ruth Hidy, ARNP, joined our Family Medicine team of providers in March of 2019. Ruth has special interests in women’s health, wellness and the mind/body connection. Ruth is no stranger to PeaceHealth. She previously worked as a registered nurse at PeaceHealth St. Joseph Medical Center for nearly fifteen years. She has experience working with cardiac, medical, surgical, pediatric and postpartum patients. Her most recent nursing role was on the Progressive Care Unit, where she provided care to a variety of cardiac and medical/surgical patients and trained new and experienced nurses. “I strive to provide compassionate, evidence-based care to help patients meet their health goals and improve wellness,” she said. When she isn’t practicing medicine, Ruth enjoys cooking, baking and reading. She and her husband have two children. They can often be found shuttling their kids to lacrosse and ballet, raising pigs and lambs, and enjoying their 10 acres in the country.
