New breast health specialist joins McKee Medical Center

LOVELAND, Colo.  (April 13, 2009) – Ann Dorwart, RN and a board certified family nurse practitioner, brings more than 25 years of experience in caring for women’s health to the role of breast health specialist at McKee Breast Center.

 She joined the Breast Center in March.

Prior to coming to McKee, Dorwart saw patients at the University of Northern Colorado Student Health Center. She also has worked in community health care centers in Colorado mountain communities. As a member of the Air Force Reserves, Dorwart worked as a flight nurse and was stationed at Elmendorf Air Force Base in Anchorage, Alaska. She worked in Indian Health Services and as a traveling nurse for village clinics in Prince William Sound and Kachemak Bay, Alaska. Much of her work focused on women’s and pediatric care.

This is her second work experience with McKee. She trained at McKee as a student nurse while attending nursing school at UNC in the late 1970s shortly after McKee had opened.

As the breast health specialist, Dorwart will work with patients who need a biopsy or further breast exams or treatment. She will stay with the patient throughout the procedure.
