Nurse practitioner joins Logan clinic

Certified family medicine nurse practitioner Tammy Germany recently joined the care team at the Presbyterian Logan Medical Clinic in Logan.

“Tammy is a great addition to our team,” said Vickie Gutierrez, hospital chief executive at Dr. Dan C. Trigg Memorial Hospital. “She has experience caring for patients of all ages and is focused on providing patient-centered care, which is very important to us. She also enjoys working in small rural communities and getting to know her patients. We knew she would be a great fit for our Logan community.”

Germany focuses her practice on preventive care, health maintenance and the diagnosis and management of acute and chronic medical conditions for patients of all ages.

Most recently, she worked as a family nurse practitioner for WorkSTEPS Medical Clinic DFW in Texas. Before that, she served as an emergency room and intensive care unit travel nurse, a charge nurse and a staff nurse, including posts at several rural New Mexico facilities.

The Logan clinic was an ideal next step.

“I worked for more than four years traveling across rural New Mexico and knew that this was my heart was,” Germany said.

Germany earned her nursing degree at Covenant School of Nursing and completed her family nurse practitioner degree at the University of Texas in Arlington.

The clinic, which is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., is at 600 Gallegos St. in Logan. Appointments are available by calling 575487-9000.
