In 1991, June attended the Women's Health Nurse Practitioner Program in Torrance, California. Upon completion of the NP Program, she returned to Fargo and continued to work in the Family Planning Clinic at Fargo Cass Public Health as a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner until 2000. In 2000, she joined the staff at Hendrix Health Center on the campus of Minnesota State University Moorhead in Moorhead, Minnesota. She earned a Master's Degree in Management from the University of Mary in Fargo, North Dakota, in 2004. June and her husband Dennis have two daughters; Emily is a sophomore in college, and Sarah is a junior in high school. June has desired to move to the desert southwest for about 20 years and is thrilled at the great opportunity to join Dr. Ofori at the Mesquite Women's Clinic. Dennis and June made their first trip to Mesquite in December 2007, and thought the community was delightful and the surroundings beautiful. During that visit, June literally 'dropped in' on the staff at the Mesquite Women's Clinic to see if there were any employment opportunities. Being a Women's Health Nurse Practitioner, she thought the Mesquite Women's Clinic would be a great place to start. "The rest is history. I have never met a physician that shares my passion to serve people like Dr. Ofori, and we seemed to hit it off right away." • Mesquite, NV 98027 • info@mesquiteobgyn.com Home :: Bio :: Procedures |
