Nurse Practitioner Michele Millan-Patterson, AGNP-C, welcomes new patients at Living Water Clinic’s Visalia and Porterville locations.
A Central Valley native, she was born and raised in Lindsay, California. After earning a Bachelor of Social Work at Fresno State, she developed community programs—from Latino mental health services to hospital outreach. Working closely with patients and families inspired her to provide care at the bedside.
She returned to school at College of the Sequoias to become a Registered Nurse. She gained experience in critical-care settings, including the ICU, cardiac ICU, emergency department, and medical-surgical units. She also learned clinic administration, but her passion remained direct patient care. That calling led her to complete Nurse Practitioner training and earn board certification as an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP-C).
Michele provides comprehensive primary care for adults and seniors. Her services include wellness exams, routine checkups, and chronic condition management for diabetes and hypertension. She offers preventive care such as immunizations and screening tests, women’s health and family planning support, and acute care for minor injuries and sudden illness. She collaborates with specialists, health educators, and community resources to provide whole-person support.
In every visit, Michele listens carefully, explains recommendations in clear terms, and involves each patient in decision-making. She respects that patients are experts on their own lives. Her role is to guide, educate, and support so that each person feels confident in their health.
Outside the clinic, she enjoys traveling with her husband and two sons, lifting weights, gardening, sewing, reading, and hosting friends for home-cooked meals. Staying active and curious helps her bring energy and empathy to every patient visit.
Michele looks forward to meeting new patients and supporting their health and well-being at Living Water Clinic in Visalia or Porterville.
