Bernadette Donovan, MSN, APRN, AGNP-C

Rooted in connection: "I’ve always worked in women’s health within a primary care setting, guided by the belief that care starts with listening. Over the years, I’ve supported women through all stages of life, and each experience has reinforced my passion for helping women feel seen, heard, and supported at every stage."

Empowering women through midlife: "My work in midlife women’s health feels both personal and purposeful. I was drawn to this focus after seeing how often women’s concerns were minimized or misunderstood during this pivotal stage. Helping women understand their symptoms, feel validated, and regain a sense of balance in their own health fuels me, especially knowing how much women are often caring for everyone else and deserve that same care for themselves."

An empathetic approach: "I create a calm, conversational environment where patients feel comfortable sharing openly. I see every visit as a true partnership, working together to find solutions that fit not just their symptoms, but their lives."

A full life, inside and outside of care: "When I’m not connecting with patients, I love spending time with family, laughing together, getting lost in a good book, and enjoying the water—whether swimming, paddle boarding, or kayaking. Cooking is another way I express care and creativity, often bringing the same warmth from my kitchen into my clinical practice."
