Shanteashia Harris El, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

A career rooted in women’s health: "I became a nurse in 1997 and a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2002. Before Midi, I spent most of my career at Planned Parenthood, providing reproductive and sexual healthcare and education to people of all ages, genders, and identities."

The ripple effect: "I joined Midi because I’ve always wanted to uplift women. What I find most rewarding about uplifting women is the powerful ripple effect. When you help a woman succeed, you strengthen families, enrich communities, and build stronger connections. One patient once told me how meaningful it was to have a GYN provider who looked like her, and that experience inspired her to become a nurse. Meaningful impact like that is why I do this work."

Listen first: "My approach is to always listen first. Patients are the experts in their own care, and I want every person I see to feel heard, seen, empowered, and uplifted when they leave our visit."
