School-based nurse practitioner Providers

Kathleen Bryant, MPH, APRN, BC

As Gifford’s school-based nurse practitioner, Kathleen Bryant will primarily work with students in the health clinics of the local elementary and high schools. She has 20 years of experience as a nurse practitioner. During that time, she has worked in school-based health centers in Vermont, including Berlin where she created and coordinated a program in the local PreK-8 school. Bryant also spent time in nursing education at both Norwich University and the University of Vermont.

“By being in the school, you develop a different relationship with the children that you don’t get with a periodic visit to the clinician’s office.”
