Chelsea O'Brien, CD, CDCES
Diabetes Care
Philosophy of Care: I aim to meet people where they are in their health journey and assist in helping them achieve their long-term health goals
I am passionate about ... working with patients on behavior change with health habits and focusing on overall healthy lifestyle initiatives.
What drew you to work at OMC? I love the small-town feel that our clinic provides. It feels comfortable and the staff is welcoming. My mom has worked at OMC for years, so I feel like this was home to me.
Personal Interests: I enjoy spending time with my family. We like to go for hikes and ride our Rangers (side-by-side) through the woods. I love to travel—locally and internationally.
Fun Fact: I was in a children's magazine as a kid for entering a contest to make up a new word. My word was "gwiggle," where you giggle so hard you wiggle.
