OLIVIA HOLMES, CPNP:
Olivia is a board certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and a member of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners. She graduated from the University of New Mexico in 2002 where she stayed and worked in their Pediatric Emergency Department for many years. After moving to Salida, CO she realized quickly that she missed working with children and adolescents. She enrolled in the University of Colorado PNP program which she completed in 2017. Since that time she has gained experience in urgent care, primary care and school based health environments in Idaho and Oregon.
She is very excited to be coming back to Colorado to be close to family and friends to raise her young son in the Four Corners area.
In addition to enjoying all the perks that living in this region offers she is grateful for the opportunity to care for young people and families in this community.
We, at Pediatric Associates of Durango, are passionate about setting a new standard for health that empowers children to reach their full potential.
