Tami Hite, certified registered nurse practitioner (CRNP), has joined the Mansfield Laurel Health Center, located at 416 South Main St. in Mansfield, PA. She is seeing patients of all ages with a focus on treating acute conditions through the center’s walk-in care program. Walk-in care is available at the Mansfield Laurel Health Center, Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5 pm and on Saturdays from 8 am to 1 pm.

Tami Hite, CRNP, brings decades of medical experience to the team with a background in both inpatient and outpatient healthcare settings. She finds it both challenging and rewarding to “connect the dots” of symptoms and examination findings in family medicine in order to form an accurate diagnosis and develop a plan of care to optimize patients’ overall health and well-being.

“I was inspired to become a nurse at a very young age. Caring for the health and wellbeing of others is not simply a career choice, it is the core of my being,” she shares. “My goal is to guide patients to help them live their best life by setting attainable goals and providing them with the education and tools necessary to achieve those goals.” 

She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Mansfield University in Pennsylvania and her Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University, headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Tami has also served as an EMT for Western Alliance Emergency Services and as a clinical nursing instructor for the Pennsylvania College of Technology.

Tami Hite, CRNP, provides walk-in care for acute health needs, including flu, coughs, sore / strep throat, COVID-19, rashes, sores, urinary tract infections (UTIs), minor burns and cuts, insect bites, muscle strains and sprains, pink eye, earaches, and nosebleeds. You do not need to be an already established Laurel Health patient to use our walk-in care service. 

Walk-in patients see a provider whose schedule is dedicated specifically to walk-in care that day to ensure they are seen in a timely manner without impacting appointment times for scheduled patients. Laurel Health sees patients of all ages on a walk-in basis. Walk-in care is not intended to treat life-threatening conditions. If someone may be experiencing a health emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
