- Why I work at Cross Road
- "I started working at crossroads medical as a registered nurse because I wanted to combine medical care with my faith as a ministry to my patients. While working at cross roads I finished my Master’s degree, through Frontier Nursing University. I enjoyed mentoring under Dr. Richardson and Verna Schad NP and I learned how to combine primary care and ministry. I love the community of Delta Junction and its rural location and the challenges this brings to the practice of medicine. After graduation I wanted to continue to serve the Delta community and healthcare needs."
