Dr. Sheila Medina is a doctorally prepared, board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than two decades of experience in nursing and healthcare. She is board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and holds nurse practitioner licensure in Alaska, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.

Sheila began her nursing career in the United States Army and went on to build an extensive career in military and civilian healthcare. She earned her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN), with a concentration as a Family Nurse Practitioner, from the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences and her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. She also holds a Master of Business Administration (MBA).

Sheila is currently completing post-master’s education as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), with anticipated program completion in November 2026. Her advanced psychiatric training builds upon her existing experience providing behavioral and mental health care as a Family Nurse Practitioner and will further expand the depth and scope of psychiatric services she is able to provide. Following program completion, she plans to sit for national board certification and become dually certified in family practice and psychiatric-mental health.

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Sheila provides comprehensive care across the lifespan, from children through older adults. Her clinical approach focuses on caring for the whole person rather than simply treating an isolated symptom or condition. She works collaboratively with her patients to identify their healthcare needs, develop individualized treatment plans, and support their physical, behavioral, and mental health and overall wellness.

Practice Philosophy

Sheila believes effective healthcare begins with listening. She strives to build strong, trusting relationships with her patients and believes patients should have an active voice in decisions about their health. Her approach emphasizes individualized, evidence-based care, open communication, patient education, and shared decision-making.

Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Sheila retired as a Colonel in the United States Army after 31 years of military service. Her military career provided extensive leadership and healthcare experience while reinforcing her commitment to service and caring for others.

Outside of healthcare, Sheila enjoys spending time with family and friends, attending Broadway shows, and collecting artwork, particularly oil paintings and photography. She has a genuine passion for travel and loves exploring new destinations. She also owns her own travel business and especially enjoys helping others plan memorable vacations and travel experiences. A longtime fan of Hello Kitty and Wonder Woman, Sheila also enjoys creative pursuits and recently taught herself to quilt.
