Tonya Coates, FNP

I’ve spent several years in nursing, gaining experience in a variety of settings, including maternity, pediatrics, neonatology, homecare, and hospice. My passion for patient care made it an easy decision to further my education and become a Nurse Practitioner. This role has allowed me to continue doing what I love—caring for individuals and partnering with them to improve their health. As an NP, I’ve worked in interventional pain management and family practice, with a particular focus on women’s health.

Outside of work, my life is all about my family. I’m fortunate to share it with my husband, our two boys and their wives, and our new granddaughter. We run a farm where we raise alfalfa and manage a small cattle operation. I love being out on the farm, especially in the summer when the cows are pasturing on the mountain. There’s something incredibly satisfying about ensuring our animals are well cared for, strong, and healthy. Spring is my favorite time of year, with new calves and …colts, fresh growth sprouting from the ground, and flowers blooming in the mountains.
