Doctor of Nursing Practice, Family Nurse Practitioner

JOINED CCHCI IN 2010

I initially went into nursing thinking that I wanted to specialize in the care of vulnerable populations, but realized–after many years in  pre-hospital and critical care–that every person that comes to you is vulnerable in some way.  I knew that I wanted to work for an organization that understood that it takes a dedicated and highly trained team to take care of patients.  I am very passionate about being a part of the patient centered medical home where we provide patients a place to come where all members of the team take the time to truly know them.

Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner

JOINED CCHCI IN 2019

Born and raised in Douglas, Az, I am the oldest of three siblings and was the first generation to attend college and graduate. I attended Loretto, Douglas High School and Cochise College. After becoming a Registered Nurse, I moved to Tucson where I furthered my nursing career and gained a variety of experience in the intensive care unit at UMC-South Campus, while completing my Bachelors of Science in Nursing from Grand Canyon University. I then worked as a research nurse with the University of Arizona while I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice at Arizona State University- Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation. During my training as a Nurse Practitioner I became aware of the need for providers throughout Cochise County, which motivated me to complete most of my rotations in Sierra Vista and Douglas.

My medical passion is to contribute to my community and those undeserved while managing health issues, reaching a healthy balance, and focusing on prevention.

I enjoy spending time with my family, riding my bike, snowboarding, and working on whichever new project I have in my sights. My family and I like to travel a lot and try to visit new places. I try to see as many superhero movies with my kids and wife in hopes that they will like them as much as me.

Jamie Fitzpatrick, FNP-C

JOINED CCHCI IN 2023

My name is Jamie Fitzpatrick, and I am a dedicated healthcare professional with a diverse background. I have 13 years of experience as a pharmacy technician and have developed a deep understanding of medication management and patient care. This valuable foundation led me to pursue a career in nursing, where I spent seven years as a compassionate labor and delivery nurse, supporting expectant mothers during one of the most transformative moments in their lives.

Driven by passion for continuous learning, I embarked on an educational journey that began with an associate degree in nursing from Cochise College. Eager to expand my knowledge and impact, I went on to earn both a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Grand Canyon University. Equipped with this advanced education, I honed my skills and became a certified family nurse practitioner, specializing in providing comprehensive healthcare services to individuals across the lifespan.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a commitment to delivering exceptional patient care, combining my extensive experience in pharmacy with my expertise in nursing. My diverse background and ongoing pursuit of knowledge makes me an asset in providing comprehensive and compassionate healthcare to my patients.

Education:

In 2017, I earned my associate degree in nursing from Cochise Community College.

In 2019, I completed my bachelor’s degree in nursing at Grand Canyon University.

I achieved my master’s degree in nursing from Grand Canyon University in 2023.

JOINED CHIRICAHUA IN 2021

I grew up in Douglas with amazing parents and two overprotective older brothers. I always did well in school and stayed busy by participating in sports. I especially loved playing soccer although I wasn’t a very skilled player. Later, I decided to go to college in Tucson, not only did this make sense financially but also was close enough for me to visit my family often. I later started my own family, marrying my husband Josh in 2008 and later having children, Jay and Lucia. We like to travel as a family and we visit many places including my husband’s home state of Pennsylvania. Although it is fun to visit other places, and living in Tucson for nearly 17 years was fun, I have always been called back home.

In 2021 I moved my family to Douglas, my home town, so that I can spend more time with my parents and to provide medical care to the community that gave me such a great childhood. My husband needed much convincing, but after being here a few months he completely understands and appreciates the small-town appeal. It’s a place where we easily connect with our neighbors, where recommendations are made word-of-mouth not through a google search, and where my children get to spend most of their day with their grandparents who love them so much and treat them so well. My entire family is happy to be in Douglas. Thank you to my home-town community for welcoming me back and for allowing me to help with your medical needs. I take the job and the responsibility very seriously and it’s one I hope to have for many years to come.

After completing general course work at Cochise College I then moved on to study at the University of Arizona. I have a bachelor’s degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology and in Nursing. While working as a bedside cardiac nurse at a large Tucson hospital I completed my Master’s in Nursing practice with a focus in Family Nurse Practitioner in 2015, and then earned my degree of Doctor of Nursing Practice in the spring of 2016. That makes me a doctor-nurse 🙂

Practice Interests:

I love caring for patients of all ages. I especially like interacting with teens.

I believe that Cochise County is a better, healthier place because of CCHCI. Having access to healthcare services is a right that the entire community has. I am proud to be associated with an organization that so closely aligns with my values.

MY BACKGROUND:

I went into nursing knowing I would have an opportunity to help people in a meaningful way.  I didn’t know then that I would not only enjoy this profession this much, but that with continued education I would have so many opportunities to make a difference in so many people’s lives. I am passionate about working with my patients as a team to provide the best possible care that they deserve.

Why I Believe in the Mission of CCHCI

I believe in helping people of this community and providing care for all, regardless of whether they can pay. I enjoy the teamwork that comes with CCHCI to meet the mission of providing health for all.

MY BACKGROUND

I was born and raised in Douglas AZ and attended A Avenue Elementary School, Paul Huber Middle School, Douglas High School and Cochise College, where I became a Registered Nurse. I worked at Canyon Vista Medical Center for 4 years, commuting back and forth to Douglas. As I was about to start my family of 2 boys, Cain and Xavier, with my husband Fabian, I decided I no longer wanted to commute and I wanted to do more for my community; the community where I would raise my family. I took a part time job at DCI, a dialysis clinic in Douglas and began to attend the University of Phoenix where I received my Masters of Science in Nursing – FNP.

I enjoy spending time with my family, we are always doing something; barbecuing, going to the park, hiking or at a baseball game.

My medical passion is to provide health care to the community that raised me.
