Professor Lori Anderson began her teaching career at the UNW School of Nursing in 2014 as a Clinical Adjunct Faculty member. She became full-time in 2018. Prior to that, Professor Anderson held positions serving as a Faith Community Nurse Network Manager, the Wellness Coordinator in the HealthEast Care System and the Pastoral Nurse at Avinity Senior Living.

She currently teaches Community & Population Based Care Services and manages clinicals for this and the Leadership course. Professor Anderson says, “I hope my students will have a broader vision of the many Community and Public Health Nursing roles through which the Lord can use them to impact the world. Many students come into my course thinking that nurses only work in hospitals or clinics. I love introducing them to the roles of Faith Community Nursing, Public Health Nursing, School Nursing, Occupational Health, Correctional Nursing, and more!”

Professor Anderson and her husband Bryan serves as Prayer Team Directors at Eagle Brooke Church – Blaine. She has two sons, two daughters-in-law, three granddaughters, and a grandson. She enjoys reading, writing, gardening, camping, hiking and biking.
