Coplin Health Systems is pleased to welcome nurse practitioner Cami Myers, MSN, FNP-C, to the Coplin Health Systems team. Cami is excited to provide walk-in and primary care services to our patients at WVUP Health & Wellness Center.

We sat down with Cami to discover what led her to become a nurse practitioner and what she looks forward to in her new role with Coplin Health Systems.

Cami Myers: I chose to become a family nurse practitioner because I wanted to be able to work with a diverse population across the lifespan. I hope to build a long lasting relationship with all of my patients.

Q: Can you tell us about your educational background?

CM: I earned my Master of Nursing degree at Ohio University in Athens, Ohio in 2022. I received my Bachelor of Nursing degree at the University of Charleston in Charleston, West Virginia in 2018 where I graduated Magna Cum Laude. Before working at Coplin Health Systems, I worked as an ICU Registered Nurse at Camden Clark Medical Center in Parkersburg.
