CONWAY — White Mountain Community Health Center welcomed a new psychiatric nurse practitioner, Julie Everett Hill, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC, in June. Hill isn’t new to the health center, however. She’s served as the director of operations for over a decade, after starting there as a nurse. Director of Communications and Development Siena Kaplan-Thompson recently sat down with Hill to learn about her new role and what led her to make this transition.
