Ana Vanway, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

Rooted in connection: "I began my healthcare career after graduating from the University of Kentucky, starting in mother–baby care before pursuing my master’s degree in Family Nurse Practicing at Simmons University in Boston. I chose the family track because I wanted to be versatile and able to support patients across every stage of life, but I’ve always felt most drawn to women’s health. Over the years, my path has included urgent care, occupational health, and even running my own clinic, which served the Hispanic community in my area. Being bilingual in English and Spanish allowed me to bridge communication gaps and build trust with patients who often felt unseen in the traditional healthcare system."

Inspired by change: "When I opened my clinic, I began to understand what truly drives me — creating space for patients to be heard and cared for without feeling rushed or dismissed. Many of my patients told me how meaningful it was to have someone who could explain their results, follow up quickly, and truly listen. Those daily conversations reminded me that thoughtful, compassionate care can change someone’s entire experience of health."

Guided by empathy and honesty: "My care philosophy is to listen first, be honest, and never stop learning. I tell my patients that I may not know everything, but I’ll always research, collaborate, and find the right answers for them. At Midi, I’m proud to bring that same approach to women navigating perimenopause and menopause — helping them feel understood, supported, and empowered through every step of midlife."
