Barbour Community Health Association is thrilled to welcome Donna March, D-NP, to our team! Donna will be a provider at our Barbour Quick Care location. Donna brings a decade of experience to our team, and we’re so excited for our patients to meet her.

Learn more about our newest provider below:

Tell us about yourself – where are you from?

I’m originally from New Hampshire, but I’ve lived in Texas as well. I currently live in Rock Cave.

What school did you graduate from?

I received my Associate of Science in Nursing from Rivier University in New Hampshire, and then I received my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Phoenix. I finished my doctorate online.

What brought you to BCHA?

I was a prison nurse for 13 years in Texas, but I eventually decided to leave the prison system. My husband was offered a promotion in West Virginia, and we decided that West Virginia was the kind of area where we would want to retire in.

How did you start your career in healthcare?

I worked in retail for awhile and then I went on to become a medical secretary and decided I enjoyed working in that field. I began to focus on nursing school while also working as a phlebotomist.

After I got my nursing licenses and certificates, I became a Nurse Practitioner.

Do you have any specialties?

I’ve gotten the best of both worlds by working in chronic care and walk-in care. I like chronic care because you build relationships with the same patients and then with walk-ins I have seen patients who have needed the most urgent kind of care. But I can do various specialties, from procedures and staples to trigger point injections to physicals.

What do you hope to achieve at BCHA?

My main role at BCHA will be taking care of patients who need after hour care. My goal is to be available for the patients that need me and ensure they are receiving quality care.

What’s your favorite part of your job?

I’m always willing to learn. As a Nurse Practitioner, we’re lifelong learners, so I really just want to continue learning so that it can benefit our patients because that’s what really matters.

What do you like to do outside of work?

I enjoy being outdoors whether it’s camping or mud bogging. I’ve recently gotten into diamond painting and we’re currently planning to start building a farm on our property, so I’m really looking forward to that.

Donna will be seeing acute care patients at our Myers Clinic until the opening of Barbour Quick Care in Belington.
