Lianne Wachira

Dedicated registered nurse, passionate about delivering patient centered care. Skilled in the effective treatment and management of diverse medical conditions through patient evaluation, physical assessments, investigations, and interpretations of test results. I have been exposed to varied health systems around the world throughout my career. This has developed my skill in working with uncommon disease presentations, diverse cultural populations, and the development of patient specific treatments to restore health. Added interests include developing and implementing healthcare programs that enhance community health through improved outreach and disease prevention. As part of a medical team, I welcome opportunities to work together with my colleagues and learn from their experience. It is an honor to be in this profession, I look forward to being a part of an institution that is geared to continued excellence in patient care.
