Mesa View Welcomes Catherine King, APRN, CDE, - Nurse Practitioner Specializing in Chronic Disease Management
Mesa View Regional Hospital is pleased to welcome Catherine King, APRN, CDE, a Nurse Practitioner specializing in chronic disease management. She is also a Certified Diabetes Educator on staff at Mesa View Medical Group in Mesquite, and is now seeing patients.
She and her family recently moved to Mesquite from Las Vegas, where she had worked for the past 4 years. “We are excited about living in Mesquite and enjoying the small town environment,” said Catherine. “I look forward to providing medical care to patients in Mesquite and the surrounding area for a long time,” she continued. Prior to living in Nevada, she worked in the state of Ohio as a Nurse Practitioner for more than 10 years.
Catherine earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Capital University in Columbus, Ohio in 1999. She went on to obtain her Masters in Nursing, receiving her certification as a Nurse Practitioner in 2002 from Ohio’s Otterbein University. After having an opportunity to manage diabetic patients with other chronic conditions she was inspired to become a Certified Diabetes Educator, which she achieved in 2006. “This has been invaluable and has enhanced my ability to educate and treat patients with diabetes, pre-diabetes and to teach diabetes prevention,” she stated.
Catherine is also experienced with other chronic conditions including; congestive heart failure, lipid disorders and COPD. She believes that to treat a condition or offer advice, a relationship must first be established and that listening is vital for her to understand the patient’s condition. She is committed to working with each patient in managing their own health and formulates treatment plans that work best for the individual.
“Catherine King is an accomplished and experienced Nurse Practitioner,” said Patty Holden, CEO for Mesa View Regional Hospital. “We are so pleased to welcome her to Mesquite as an essential addition to our medical staff and to the community,” Holden concluded.
When she is not busy seeing patients or spending time with her family, Catherine enjoys being outdoors, hiking and cooking.
