👋 Please help us give a warm welcome to Patricia L. Lunardi, DNP, MSN, FNP-BC, the newest primary care provider in our Winchester Family Medicine clinic. "I was drawn to nursing because of the incredible opportunity to impact lives by providing holistic, patient-centered care," says Lunardi, who has lived in New Hampshire for over 10 years. "For me, success goes beyond simply treating a disease — it's about improving a patient's overall well-being. I am inspired by the wise words of Hunter 'Patch' Adams: 'You treat a disease, you win, you lose. You treat a person, I guarantee you, you'll win, no matter what the outcome.'" She received her bachelor's degree from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and continued on to obtain her master's as a Nurse Practitioner and her doctorate degree as a Doctor of Nursing Practice at the same institution, graduating in 2020. She completed her primary care residency through Baystate Medical Center, CVS Health, and the Community Health Center in Massachusetts and dually through Keady Family Practice and Wondrous Roots in New Hampshire. "Whether it is witnessing a decrease in symptoms or small steps toward healing, every bit of progress brings me a deep sense of fulfillment and purpose," she says. "These are the rewarding moments that drive me in my work. This mindset keeps me grounded and ensures I provide care with the same empathy I would want for my own family members during a vulnerable time." Lunardi has extensive experience as a registered nurse and provider in nursing homes, hospitals, home healthcare, primary care, and case management, working with vulnerable populations. Most recently, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she ran a COVID clinic as a DNP in Keene and has worked locally as a certified wound and ostomy care provider, where she has a special interest in treating and managing wounds of all types. She is also a certified personal trainer and published author. Outside of work, Lunardi enjoys spending time with her young daughter, writing, spending time with her chickens, kickboxing, running competitively, and participating in autocross and drifting events. She looks forward to seeing patients in the Winchester office for Cheshire Medical Center.
