"Jana joined us in February of 2020. She has extensive experience in Geriatrics, endocrinology and wound care. She has been a Family Nurse Practitioner for 20 years. Additionally, Jana completed her Doctorate of Nursing in 2014 from the Unversity of Kansas. She has been a blessing for us at Synergy. We love her and know you will too. When people undergo trauma, healthcare issues/illnesses or severe life stressors, it is not unusual for their lives to become problematic. That is why Dr. Jana Harris DNP, FNP-BC became a well accomplished provider. She recently joined Synergy after retiring from the Leavenworth Veteran’s Administration (VA) after 15 years employment where she accomplished her doctorate while employed full time. She has accomplished many things over her work history as a healthcare provider from care of individuals with diabetes having developed and maintained a diabetic center for patients. Further provided healthcare for a small emergency department and worked as a hospitalist, along with working in family & internal medicine. Her values remain strong in the belief of preventative health education to assist the patients and empowering them as she believes strongly in selfcare, when possible, as a measure to help the community and families stay strong. Outside of her husband, children, grand and great-grandchildren her interests are gardening where she grows and sometimes cans the produce and/or will donate to the community and friends. Before she found her current path of healthcare her family history involved horse care which she loved and she ended up raising horses. She had one favorite mare which she has many stories to tell. So, if you are a horse lover (or animal lover of any kind) and you start discussing your animal, don’t be surprised if your visit lasts longer than expected. She reached the terminal degree in Nursing with her doctorate and remains certified in Kansas as an ADVANCED REGISTERED NURSE PRACTITIONER with the AMERICAN NURSES CREDENTIALING CENTER (ANCC)."
