Olga Briggs, APRN

While working as a nurse in Indiana, Olga Briggs' patients in the MedSurg and Progressive Care Units inspired her to become a nurse practitioner, specializing in cardiology.

Olga enjoys listening to her patients' stories and strives to provide the most recent data on acute and chronic heart diseases. This information helps her patients make the best cardiovascular health decisions.

To Olga, the most rewarding part of working in healthcare is communicating with families about the heart and its function. She strives to provide the best care, focusing on preventing and treating chronic heart disease through education. She encourages patients to not smoke, to stay physically active, and to reduce salt and sugar in their diet. Those factors dramatically contribute to improving cardiovascular health.
