Holly Weidner, PA
BS, Cornell University
MSN, Pace University
Holly received a BS degree at Cornell before earning her MSN from Pace University in 1977. After 3 1/2 years in internal medicine in inner city Rochester, she joined the residency program as a family nurse practitioner in 1981. Holly has "stayed for 20 years because of a faculty that is intellectually gifted and deeply committed to serving the community. Because the residency is uniquely structured to encourage leadership and input at all levels, it has been an exciting place to work. It has provided me opportunities to serve as medical director of the outpatient services in Augusta; to set up teaching curriculum for residents in diabetes and gynecologic procedures; and to pursue my international health interests as well.” Over the years, Holly has worked staffing a solo outpost medical station near Esteli, Nicaragua; precepting medical students in Jamaica, and teaching nurse practitioner students to design and maintain a cervical cancer screening program in the Dominican Republic. Outside of work, Holly balances home life with a 12 year old daughter and volunteering in school, and local and state Quaker meetings. She also serves on community boards such as the family violence shelter, town planning, and mediation services.
