Population Health Nurse Manager
Hi, I'm Haley Brewington RN, Population Health Nurse Manager. I graduated from the Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) program at Indian Hills Community College in 2016 and began my nursing career at Van Buren County Hospital. Throughout my nursing career, I have gained experience in labor and delivery, medical-surgical nursing, clinical informatics, and nursing leadership. I am passionate about improving patient outcomes, supporting care teams, and helping patients navigate their healthcare journey.
When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, gardening, golfing, and taking care of my chickens. Being a mom is one of my favorite roles, and I love finding balance between my professional career and life at home.
