Gabrielle received her master’s degree from SUNY Polytechnic Institute and began her career in nursing at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Albany Medical Center. She received her certification from the American Association of Nurse Practitioners.  

“I have a passion for caring for patients across the lifespan,” said Spencer. “The best part about caring for patients in my community is the ability to meet new people and build relationships with friends and neighbors to provide them the best personalized care.”

Maureen graduated with her master’s degree from SUNY Polytechnic Institute in 2021 preceded by her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Suny Delhi in 2015.  

“My beliefs about nursing are more than treating an acute or chronic problem but to treat a patient as a whole,” said Russell. “I also have a responsibility to the public and community to provide safe, holistic, patient-centered care. As a nurse, being able to apply my personal experience to contribute to a patient’s wellness and healing gives me a sense of pride.”
