This year, Fran Stier NP celebrates 25 years as a nurse practitioner and cardiovascular clinical specialist. She received her Master's of Science Degree from the University of Virginia (1981), and continues to maintain Board Certification in Adult Health and Acute Care Advanced Practice.

Fran has practiced in both private and academic cardiology practices. Prior to moving to the White Mountains eight years ago, she worked at the Sarver Heart Center, University of Arizona, on the hospital cardiology service caring for acutely ill patients with congestive heart failure, chest pain, and heart arrhythmias. Since December 2002, Fran has been providing cardiology care in the White Mountains.

Fran can help you identify your heart health risks and develop a program to manage your risks or better yet, prevent heart disease. She is the owner of Heart Health Care, LLC, which served the White Mountain communities until August 2010.

Fran resides in Show Low, Arizona. Outside her love for cardiology care, she is crazy over fly-fishing and tries to go fishing as often as possible. When she is not fishing she enjoys camping with her husband, Don, and their three dogs.
