Suanne Davison, CRNP, NP-C, MSN, FNP, joins medical staff of Healthy Directions at Giant Eagle

Ms. Susanne Davison brings many years of health care experience to the medical center located inside the Finleyville Giant Eagle on Route 88.

She is a graduate of Mercy Hospital School of Nursing in Pittsburgh and spent the first 14 years of her registered nursing career as a child/adolescent psychiatric nurse at St. Francis Medical Center and The Bradley Center — both in Pittsburgh.

Ms. Davison joined the United States Air Force in 2003, where she entered at the rank of Captain and performed the duties of a labor and delivery nurse at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. After only three years in the service, she was selected for an Air Force scholarship to attend the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in Bethesda, MD, to obtain her MSN and become a family nurse practitioner.

Ms. Davison was then assigned to start her nurse practitioner career at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. During her tenure at the Academy, as she succeeded in rank from Captain to Major, she provided primary care to active-duty military personnel, retirees and their dependents. She then transferred to work directly with the cadets providing primary care to more than 4,000 cadets and active-duty military in an urgent care-like setting. During her time stationed at the U.S. Air Force Academy, Ms. Davison was deployed for one year to Kandahar, Afghanistan to mentor Afghan doctors and medics. She has received several awards and medals during her service.

Ms. Davison returned to Pittsburgh at the end of 2013 as a disabled veteran to be with family. She worked for a non-profit agency and in an occupational health setting before joining the staff of Healthy Directions. She is a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments, and Physicians, Scientists and Engineers for Healthy Energy.
