Laura Tidwell, RN, MSN
Chief Nursing Officer, CNO
I began my healthcare journey in 2002 as a floor nurse at Froetert. In 2013, I received my Masters degree in Nursing from Alverno. With 20 years of experience, I have gained diverse skills in various specialties such as Urology, Medical/Surgical, Cardiology, Pain Management, Urgent Care, and Geriatrics. My experience has enabled me to care for patients in their homes, including medication management, wound care, blood pressure screenings, and triage. I enjoy seeing patients in their environment because it helps me to understand and treat the whole person. My favorite aspect of my job is providing nursing care in the comfort of patients' homes.
