Demystifying Health Topics: Health Writing From A Nurse Practitioner

About your writer
Hi! I'm Leanna, a nurse writer. I dreamed of being a writer as a kid, but chose the path my dad said would better support my family. He wasn't wrong. But after more than two decades working in healthcare, I decided to follow my dream and started my writing business in 2021. Writing is a great creative outlet that lets me tap into years of health experience and share information with others.
I'm an Oregon native and Air Force veteran bringing a literal world of experience to my work. I possess a solid understanding of complex health information and an intimate understanding of the human experience through patient care. These are reflected in my writing.
My toolbox is full of valuable assets for clients who need well-informed writing. My experience with clinical operations, medical procedures, and healthcare management translates well for both B2B and B2C needs.
My writing is inspired by a variety of sources. Books, podcasts, and random topics of conversation can trigger nuggets of ideas. Let me help you create authentic content that attracts and educates readers.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a nurse writer
A nurse writer is a healthcare professional with nursing credentials who specializes in creating health-related content. Nurse writers combine clinical knowledge with writing expertise to produce accurate, trustworthy, and engaging health content for various audiences.
Why should I hire a nurse writer instead of a regular content writer?
Nurse writers bring clinical experience and medical knowledge that enables them to interpret complex health information accurately and clearly. They understand medical terminology, can evaluate research studies, and write with the authority that comes from hands-on healthcare experience. Plus, nurses have been ranked as the most trusted profession for 22 consecutive years, adding credibility to your content.
What types of health content do you write?
I create a wide range of health content, including consumer health journalism articles, blog posts, newsletters, website copy, email marketing campaigns, webinar and podcast scripts, health explainers, slide decks, infographics, and ghostwriting services for healthcare professionals and organizations.
Do you write for both B2B and B2C audiences?
Yes, I create content for both business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) audiences. My years working as a nurse practitioner and medical director gave me a great deal of experience in pivoting between speaking with patients at their level of understanding, using straightforward content for general audiences, and presenting complex medical information to healthcare professionals.
What is your writing process?
I use a collaborative and tailored approach to meet each client's specific needs. I work closely with editors and marketing teams to understand your brand voice, project goals, timeline, and budget. I then work with the client to create customized content that meets the objectives for the project.
How do you incorporate SEO into health content?
I integrate SEO strategies while prioritizing human readers first. This approach ensures your content ranks well in search engines while remaining engaging, informative, and valuable to your actual audience. SEO can be incorporated into any project to optimize traffic to your site.
Can you match our brand voice and style?
Absolutely. I partner with clients to communicate their unique brand voice and leave a lasting impact on their readers. My collaborative approach ensures the content aligns with your organization's tone, style, and messaging goals.

I know how to find, read, and accurately convey research, which is an asset for any topic I may not be as familiar with.
How do you ensure accuracy in your health content?
I utilize my training as a healthcare professional to evaluate and interpret medical studies and expertly sourced data. I bring the same ethical standards and attention to detail that I've used with my direct patient care to ensure the content I create is accurate and trustworthy.
