Lindsey Laffon, DNP, FNP-C, has joined Carolina Caring’s Palliative Medicine Clinic – China Grove as Nurse Practitioner. The clinic offers one of the few programs in Rowan County that offers specialized palliative medicine to seriously ill patients and their families.

Laffon earned her bachelor’s degree in nursing, master of science in nursing education, and Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Lenoir-Rhyne University. She is a certified family nurse practitioner with nearly 10 years of healthcare experience.

As a community-based healthcare provider, Laffon will work alongside a team of doctors, nurses, social workers and chaplains to provide expert, customized care to patients navigating chronic conditions and serious illnesses. She will partner with each patient’s regular physician and their family caregivers to manage the pain and other symptoms caused by their illness and help them make the most of each day.

“It’s so rewarding to provide patients with holistic care,” said Laffon. “The physical, emotional and spiritual support we provide often bridges the gaps of traditional medicine and brings a great deal of comfort to patients when they need it the most.”
