Ewa DuBoisEwa DuBois, APRN, FNP
FAMILY NURSE PRACTITIONER

“I enjoy teaching the wellness aspects of chronic diseases, getting people to understand that their choices can lead to better health outcomes.”

Having navigated from Alaska to New York—and many places in between—Ewa Dubois has found a home in rural-based community health, at least for the time being.

Ewa landed at Health Partnership Clinic 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 two to nine, 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.
