New Faces, Familiar Roots: Brooke Whitt Joins Baxter Health in Mountain View
Baxter Health is pleased to announce that Brooke Whitt, MSN, CNP, FNP-C, has joined the Baxter Health Family Clinic at Mountain View as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Whitt began seeing patients earlier this year and is currently accepting new patients.
Whitt is a familiar face in the region, having grown up in north central Arkansas. Practicing close to home reflects a personal commitment to the communities she has always known. She brings more than a decade of healthcare experience to her new role, including six years as a school nurse serving pediatric patients in the Southside School District and three years as a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit nurse at Arkansas Children's Hospital in Little Rock. She also served as a nurse for Arkansas Girls State and gained additional bedside experience in medical-surgical and pediatric care at White River Medical Center.
Whitt earned her Master of Science in Nursing with a Family Nurse Practitioner focus from Henderson State University in 2023 and holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. She is nationally certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and has pursued continuing education through Harvard Medical School, including coursework in lifestyle medicine. She has also served as an exam reviewer for the National Council of State Boards of Nursing.
Brian Barnett, Vice President of Physician Enterprise and Business Development at Baxter Health, said, "Brooke is exactly the kind of provider our communities need and deserve. She grew up here, she understands our patients, and she brings a wealth of experience that spans neonatal care, pediatrics, school nursing, and now primary care. We could not be more glad to have her on our team."
Outside of the clinic, Whitt values the same things that draw so many people to life in the Ozarks. She enjoys spending time with family, traveling, hiking, and boating, making her a natural fit for the Mountain View community.
The Baxter Health Family Clinic at Mountain View is now accepting new patients. To schedule an appointment with Brooke Whitt, please call the clinic or visit baxterhealth.org.
