Delores Foster

I became a Nurse Practitioner because I wanted to make a difference in people’s lives. To witness people creating healthier lives for themselves gives me a great sense of purpose and fulfillment.

I was influenced by my mother, who often helped our neighbors in the community where I grew up. She would bring food or care for them and their children when they were ill.

Health Issues I Can Help With

I can diagnose, treat, and help you manage your physical health issues. These include high blood pressure, diabetes and obesity. I can provide the extra support you may need to manage these conditions.

I’m also experienced with and can provide support for mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.

My experience and training in mental and physical health nursing give me a good understanding of the complex relationship between physical and psychological health.

When your physical health suffers, it affects your mental health, and if you struggle with mental health problems, they can also exacerbate physical health issues.

I’m a good listener and care deeply about people and human suffering.

I’m a dedicated nursing professional who builds trusting and caring relationships with my clients.

I aim to go above and beyond what is required to meet my clients’ needs. I’m patient and will try to answer your questions to the best of my ability. I’ll make the necessary referrals whenever necessary.

I provide excellent medical care and practice within the current standards and guidelines for nurse practitioners. I’m a skilled professional and will work with you to accomplish your goals.

I’m aware that change takes time, and I’ll encourage you to take the small steps necessary to reach your goals.

My hope is that you’ll leave each encounter feeling better than when you came in.

I have over 20 years of experience working in hospital settings and private practice, treating clients with physical and mental health issues. I also have a great deal of experience in the treatment of obesity.

For the past 20 years, I’ve participated in medical missions in several countries, mainly Africa and the Caribbean, providing care and comfort to hundreds of adults and children in underserved communities.

I continue to provide financial and direct care support to many affected by poverty, lack of resources and natural disasters.
