Chrisman Clinic Adds Second Provider

Horizon Health has added a second medical provider at its Chrisman Clinic.

Kristina Gabbard joins Danielle Ireland, who has served as the clinic’s primary care provider since 2014. Both are family nurse practitioners and treat patients of all ages.

Prior to becoming a family nurse practitioner in 2018, Kristina worked 10 years as a registered nurse on a hospital medical/surgical unit in Urbana. During that time, she served as the primary preceptor orienting new and experienced nurses to the unit. She also served as a mentor to senior nursing students and newly graduated registered nurses.

Kristina has an associate’s degree in nursing from Parkland College in Champaign. She continued schooling and completed the family nurse practitioner program at Chamberlain College of Nursing in suburban Addison, Ill.

Kristina is a board-certified family nurse practitioner and a board-certified medical-surgical registered nurse (CMSRN). She is a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, Illinois Society for Advanced Practice Nursing (ISAPN), and Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing.

Kristina and her husband are parents to four girls. Her interests include spending time outdoors with her family, reading, watching movies, and going to concerts. Kristina enjoys getting to know her patients and using a holistic approach to making a difference in their lives.

The Chrisman Clinic is located at 112 West Madison Avenue in Chrisman. Office hours are Monday through Thursday, from 8:30 am to noon and 1 to 4:30 pm; and Friday, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. To make an appointment with Kristina, call the clinic at (217) 269-2394. Same-day appointments are available.
