Bethany Whitson was born in Kimball, Nebraska in 1975, but was raised in Brazil. An American National, she returned to the United States in 1991, as did all four of her siblings. While in Brazil, a family friend who was also an Orthopedic surgeon, inspired Bethany to seek a degree in medicine.
As a young child, Dr. Roosevelt Targino of Campina Grande, Brazil invited Bethany to watch as he performed some emergency procedures. Those observations fanned the flames of her desire to work in healthcare, and that desire became a passionate dream of hers. Soon after, the dream would begin to be realized when she became a Registered Nurse in 1998.
After spending a few years in progressive care, she transitioned into Emergency Medicine as an ER nurse, a capacity in which she served for almost 15 years. In 2014, Bethany moved to Phoenix, Arizona with her husband and three children to work for Grand Canyon University’s Canyon Health and Wellness Clinic, a move which also allowed her to study to become a Nurse Practitioner at GCU. She earned her degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2017 and immediately transitioned from campus nurse to healthcare provider. Her dream to practice medicine, which started decades earlier, was finally realized.
Bethany is an advocate for integrated healthcare, natural medicine, chiropractic care, spiritual healing, and encourages her patients to embrace healthy living. She is perfectly fluent in Portuguese and Spanish.
