Rachel Brown joins us Southeastern Cardiology as our newest Nurse Practitioner and will help us start our Heart Failure Clinic in early 2022.

 

 Rachel is originally from Portland, OR but went looking for “sunshine in the south” where she earned her BSN at Texas Christian University (TCU) in Fort Worth, Texas. She has more than five years of experience working in the emergency department at Level I & II trauma facilities-- first at Vanderbilt in Nashville, then at Tacoma General in Washington state.

 

She completed her Masters of Nursing and cardiology specialty certification at Duke University in 2020. Her years working with decompensated heart failure patients in the emergency department really ignited a passion for the heart failure patient population.

​

 Rachel and her husband, Steven, have a seven-month-old daughter, Willa, and a Great Dane, Reggie. Rachel enjoys being active outdoors and most recently has become an avid pickleball player… and if she could be a contestant on any TV show, she’d choose Wipeout. :)
