Allison Swanson, MSN, FNP-BC

Family Medicine and Urgent Care Nurse Practitioner, progressive thinker with over 25 years of experience, currently serving patients at NEA Baptist through the mission of healing, teaching, & preaching. I have a passion for mentoring, teaching, training, technology and team development. I love using technology to enhance the clinical experience, but in a way that facilitates excellent care and reduces burnout. Patient care is still my first passion, but I know that having a strong team around me at all levels enhances caring for others. I currently serve on several committees including the APP Annual Conference planning committee & the family medicine/internal medicine committee. I am also the mentorship lead for the APP council at NEA Baptist, and have served on the systemwide APP Council for Baptist Memorial since its inception in 2018. I am honored to have been chosen twice as a nominee for "APP of the Year" for Baptist Memorial Healthcare. I have a particular interest in nutrition and love to teach patients about seasonal cooking and about healthy foods and recipes. I published an article in 2025 with an ASPC colleague in the Journal for Nurse Practitioners on CV Risk Assessment and Risk Enhancers, and am proud to be a member of the Nutrition Working Group within ASPC.
