Provider Bio down arrow

Nurse Practitioner Rick Anderson joined Marshfield Clinic Health System Internal Medicine in 2007. He is a familiar face to many people in the Park Falls and Phillips communities. He continued his practice at Park Falls Center after completing his clinical training there, and now offers comprehensive health care for adults in both locations.

“After completing my clinical training, I found that I really enjoyed the people in Price County that I had the pleasure to work with in these communities, and decided I wanted to stay right here,” Rick said.

Rick received his degree in Nursing from Northern Michigan University and attained his Masters of Science degree in Nursing from Concordia University. He previously worked for Ministry Health Care at the former Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Marshfield, and at Grandview Hospital in Ironwood, Michigan.

Working in Park Falls and Phillips allows Anderson to get to know his neighbors in Price County.

“We’ve built our home and our life here and we love living and working here,” he said.
