For Nicole Archer, healthcare is about more than charts and numbers, it is about neighbors helping neighbors. Born and raised in Tuolumne County, Nicole serves as the Diabetes Nurse Educator at MACT Health, where she applies her “whole health” approach to helping the community combat chronic disease.
“I do not focus my plan of care solely on vitals or lab results,” Nicole explains. “I strive to genuinely get to know my patients’ needs, concerns, and desires.”
Nicole’s extensive background, spanning acute medical-surgical care and hospice to mental health and corrections, has given her a unique ability to meet patients where they are, without judgment. She prides herself on moving away from rigid medical instructions and instead working with patients to
create attainable lifestyle and diet goals that they actually want to achieve.
Currently pursuing her Family Nurse Practitioner degree at Samuel Merritt University, Nicole is passionate about continued learning. When she isn’t studying or coaching patients, you can find her swimming, crafting, or enjoying life as a busy mom involved in her children’s sports and activities.
