PROVIDER - MARY MAY, MSN, FNP
Mary joins us after five years as an intensive care nurse at our local hospital. She received her BSN from Valdosta State University and her FNP from Georgia Southern University.

A couple more fun facts about Mary - she served in the Peace Corps in the Ukraine after attending culinary school in NYC and has two young children. She loves reading and cooking (hello culinary school) in her spare time, and also enjoys traveling with her family.
