Accepting New Patients
Same Day Appointments
Family Nurse Practitioner Ewa Dubois offers quality, safe and nurturing care to the entire family. As a mother of four children, ages two to nine along with an extensive medical background, she welcomes newborns, toddlers, adolescents and adults of all ages. Ewa is a provider at the Paola and Ottawa clinics, which serve Miami and Franklin counties. She offers same-day appointments and is accepting new patients.
Why choose a nurse practitioner?
Nurse practitioners, like Ewa, are highly educated and begin their academic pursuits by first earning a bachelor’s degree in nursing. To become a nurse practitioner, she attended a nationally accredited nurse practitioner graduate program. Ewa worked as a nurse for nine years and eventually obtained a Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner, which allowed her to become board certified in family practice. It takes approximately two to four years of post-secondary education to obtain a Master of Science in Nursing. This thorough medical background ensures she delivers the highest quality care possible. To provide the best care for her patients, Ewa works collaboratively with the clinic’s pediatricians and family practice doctors.
Ewa’s goal is to help create a community-focused clinic, where she can provide quality, affordable and accessible health care to all. Understanding her patients’ needs and connecting them with other Health Partnership services when needed complements her whole person care approach.
About Ewa Dubois, APRN, FNP-C
Having navigated from Alaska to New York—and many places in between—Ewa has found a home in rural-based community health, at least for the time being.
Ewa landed at Health Partnership as a 12-month participant in a University of Kansas School of Nursing Fellowship program that supports the healthcare needs of Kansans living in or near Ottawa, Wichita, Salina and other cities.
With a passion for helping patients experiencing or showing symptoms of chronic diseases like diabetes or hypertension, Ewa sees patients Monday-Wednesday at HPC’s Ottawa clinic, and Fridays in Paola. At both clinics, she’ll apply more than eight years of experience as a registered nurse serving patients in emergency, intensive care and surgical settings.
Raised in Anchorage, Alaska, Ewa gained an appreciation for health care by observing how friends and neighbors spoke highly of the care provided by her mother, a nurse herself. The importance of local health care resonated with Ewa when she saw residents travel beyond Alaska for needed care.
Married to a U.S. Army officer and now living at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. the family’s journey has allowed Ewa to study or work in Tennessee, Florida, California and New York. She has earned Bachelor of Science degrees in both Nursing and Biology, and a Master of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner.
With four children, ages 2 to 9, the family enjoys outdoor activities including skiing and hiking. Given the geographic uncertainty that comes with her husband’s Army career, Ewa hopes to continue working in rural health care to help individuals and multi-generation families live their healthiest lives.
Ewa sees patients of all ages at our Ottawa and Paola clinics.
