Mother, wife and community volunteer Michelle Feeney is known for dedicating her extra time in the Lake Tahoe community – from poverty to nutrition, she is devoted to making changes in the area.

She has worked for Barton Health at the Community Clinic, Barton Family Medicine and is now joining Dr. Jennifer Ehmann at Barton Pediatrics as a nurse practitioner.

“Dr. Ehmann has been our [family’s] pediatrician and I know what an excellent provider she is,” Feeney said in a prepared statement. “I look forward to collaborating with her to provide great continuous medical care for her patients.”

Feeney emphasizes the importance of building strong relationship between the medical provider, the patient and their parents.

“Consistency is very important to detect the subtle changes in children as they grow and develop,” she said. “This long-standing relationship helps provide the best care for the child.”

Feeney obtained a bachelor’s degree in human biodynamics from Cal and soon after became a registered nurse. She earned a master’s in nursing, specializing as an FNP from the University of San Francisco.
