DonateRichmond — This September, staff at Richmond Area Health Center are happy to welcome Abigail Dalzell-Dixon, FNP, to their professional clinical team.
Abigail Dalzell-Dixon
Dalzell-Dixon earned her Master of Science in Nursing from the University of Southern Maine in Portland. She previously obtained her Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Her wide range of care experience includes women’s healthcare across the lifespan, patient-centered and trauma-informed care, and so much more. Her transition to Richmond will be a relocation from HealthReach’s Belgrade Regional Health Center after four fantastic years there. Her experience with both rural Maine patients and the HealthReach organization will make her a fantastic addition to the Richmond team.
Of her transition to Richmond, Dalzell-Dixon said, “It has been an honor to help care for our patients in Belgrade for the past four years. I have learned so much and will miss the families who have trusted me to support their health. I believe the cornerstone of family medicine is building a strong partnership that combines evidence-based practice with each person’s individual needs. I appreciate the opportunity to do this at HealthReach where strong community ties and health centers that prioritize patients make this possible. I look forward to joining the team in Richmond and continuing our mission of providing care for Mainers of all walks of life in a new community.”
Dalzell-Dixon joins Richmond’s existing clinical team – Family Nurse Practitioners, Andrew Alexander, Rebecca Childs-Derhak, and Melissa Hackett; Doctor of Podiatry, Daniel Keane; Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Theresa Rush; and Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Agnieszka “Aga” Smith.
