Please help us welcome Mindy Lovendahl, FNP-C, to the Clay County Medical Center team! Mindy will be serving patients at Clay Center Family Physicians and Riley Family Physicians beginning next month in June.

Mindy is a certified Family Nurse Practitioner and has been a primary care medical provider for 11 years at COMCARE in Salina, KS. After receiving her LPN from North Central Technical College, Mindy completed her RN degree at Cloud County Community College. She then attended Tabor College in Wichita to complete her BSN, and continued on to pursue her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Fort Hays State University.

Originally raised in Clay Center, Mindy has moved back to the community with her husband Jason. They have two sons, Jakob (23) and Jaxon (18). Mindy said she is looking forward to caring for her “home” community, along with being closer to family!

When asked what motivated her to enter the nursing field, Mindy said, “My grandmother was a nurse and my inspiration in becoming a nurse. After working as a nurse for about 7 years, I really wanted to be able to be more involved in patient care and take a more collaborative approach while staying in the nursing field. Becoming a nurse practitioner turned this goal into a reality. I have been in the nursing field now for almost 25 years and I love every minute of it.”

Welcome to the team, Mindy!
