Elizabeth C. Blain, MSN, APRN

Working in hospital medicine often involves treating people who have complex medical conditions. These conditions can have a big impact on their daily life. My goal is to empower my patients to optimize their health and live beyond their limitations.

Being in the hospital can be overwhelming. I treat my patients with empathy and help them feel informed and supported. I enjoy getting to know my patients—their beliefs, values, and goals—beyond their illness or injury. I encourage my patients to ask questions about their care so that we can work together as a team. It's very rewarding to make a meaningful impact during a patient's most critical and vulnerable moments.
