Lakeisha Madden, MSN, FNP-C, Midi Clinician

Female-focused: “I have been a Family Nurse Practitioner for nearly eight years, with the last five years focused on women’s health. My career began in internal medicine, but my passion for sexual and reproductive health led me to specialize in these areas. It’s fulfilling to help women navigate their health journeys, especially during significant transitions like menopause.”An early direction: “My passion for medicine began in childhood when I saw the compassionate care nurses provided to my sibling in the hospital. Their attentiveness and inclusion of my family in the care process inspired me to pursue a career in health. I knew I wanted to work in a field where I could offer similar support to others.”In it together: “I strive to create a warm and inclusive environment where patients feel heard and involved in their treatment plans. It’s rewarding to help women understand their bodies, improve their health, and become better versions of themselves. Providing education and support empowers them to take control of their well-being, which is the most satisfying aspect of my work.”
