Jose Rivera is a family nurse practitioner specializing in pediatric gastrointestinal health. Gut health is of particular interest to him because issues with the gastrointestinal system can affect a person’s overall health and well-being. Building a trusting environment with patients is of utmost importance to Rivera.
“This makes the patient more at ease and more willing to engage in their care,” he said. “This builds good communication between a provider and patient.”
Rivera has always loved science and wanted a career in medicine, but he did not know he wanted to be a nurse until his father was in the hospital.
“During his hospital stay, the nurses taking care of him were so kind and caring toward him and my mother,” he said.
