Diane Asher

Diane Asher started her career in kinesiology and psychology. She has always had a strong interest in helping people live healthier lifestyles—and a curiosity for researching health behavior change. It wasn’t until she was exposed to the nursing model and started working with vulnerable patient populations in community health that she truly discovered her career path. Now as a family nurse practitioner, she partners with patients, their families and communities to help ease suffering, prevent disease, and improve health outcomes.
