Walters Family Care proudly announces the addition of Raven Piontek, APRN-CNP to the team. Raven brings many years of experience and desire to provide care to the community.

Raven, please share with us where you grew up and received your education.

I was born in Germany (grew up in a military family) but grew up in Lawton. After high school, I attended Cameron University and the University of Oklahoma, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Nursing. I worked as a nurse for seven years before attending Midwestern State University (Wichita Falls, TX), where I received my Advanced Practice Nursing Degree. I am also a boardcertified lactation consultant.

Why healthcare and especially in a rural area?

Since I was a little girl, I have wanted to be in the healthcare profession. Caring for others and helping them through significant life events is a passion of mine. Whether it is good news, bad news, or a major life change, I want to be there for them in their time of need, and if I can, make it better.

I love Walters! I moved here eight years ago. It is a wonderful place with caring, genuine people. So how great that I can work in a rural health setting that is in my home town! It is vital for those living in small towns to know they are just as important as those in larger cities. They deserve to have the same access to care as everyone else.

Tell us about your family.

I met my husband, Matt, in high school, and we have been together for 15 years. He currently works at Goodyear in Lawton. We have three children, Lorelai (6), Cooper (3), and Madeline (1).

Is there something you would like the community to know about you regarding their care?

Providing quality care is of the utmost importance to me. We will navigate your care and health together. I will strive to manage you and your family’s needs as much as possible.
