Sara Goins, FNP

Inspired by her mother’s impactful role as an RN, Sara developed an unwavering appreciation for medical professionals from a young age. Sara’s career in healthcare began in 2008, serving as a Registered Nurse and Certified Childbirth Educator for several years before advancing to a Nurse Practitioner. With over 15 years of bedside nursing, she has a strong passion for women’s health and pediatrics.

As a Family Nurse Practitioner, Sara’s approach to patient care prioritizes compassion, empathy, and active listening. Her focus extends beyond the diagnosis to embrace the patient’s unique needs, values, and life experiences, reflecting a whole-person approach to healthcare.

At Oak Orchard Health, she aims to offer personalized, relationship-based care, addressing not only chronic conditions but also the broader aspects of a patient’s health to improve their quality of life. Sara is dedicated to cultivating a safe and trusting space where patients are supported in reaching their long-term health goals.

Outside of work, Sara’s life revolves around her four children and the special moments she shares with them. Her adventurous spirit draws her to the outdoors, where she enjoys paddle boarding, hiking, and camping. During the winter months, she is an avid skier and a ski patroller at Swain Ski Resort.
