What is Jillian’s background as a medical provider?
Jillian has been caring for patients with compassion and clinical excellence throughout Arizona since 2006. She holds two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Alaska system and earned her master’s degree from Northern Arizona University in 2011. Jillian completed her post-master’s family nurse practitioner at NAU and received her doctorate from Frontier Nursing University, the oldest program in the country.
What experience does she have?
She is triple board certified in flight, emergency and critical care and completed her high-risk obstetrics fellowship at Maricopa County Medical Center.
She’s spent eight years flying as a maternal team leader with the Arizona Perinatal Trust and has more than 20-years’ experience in air medical transport, flying in helicopters from the bottom of the Grand Canyon to the edge of the Arctic Ocean.
For the past two years, she has worked in primary care here in Phoenix, focusing on weight management and metabolic health.
What role will Jillian play as a Clinician at SWLC?
She firmly believes in a holistic approach to clinical practice where patients are at the center of care. No blaming nor shaming—just kindness and understanding.
Each patient has their own unique weight loss journey. Jillian’s goal is to provide compassionate, individualized care to each of you, ensuring that you feel empowered and supported every step of the way.
How can you relate to patients?
“This journey is not easy. I know because I have been there. I’ve lost more than 100 pounds since my highest weight—and more importantly, I have kept it off for over five years. Several years ago, I struggled to complete a 5k. I now am an endurance athlete who runs ultramarathons and just finished my first rim-to-rim this summer. I am a busy mom who travels a lot, but I still can keep to a nutritional plan on the road.”
