Samantha Ruder, FNP

Samantha became a provider after working as a registered nurse working directly with COVID-19 affected patients. Working during that unprecedented time, her yearning to expand her knowledge led her to furthering her education and scope of practice. Her favorite part of her job is that no two days are the same and there is always something new to learn every day. In her spare time, Samantha enjoys spending time with her friends and family. She loves traveling with her partner Matthew and together they have visited 11 out of the 63 national parks and hope to be able to visit all of them. In her spare time, Samantha enjoys hiking, pickleball and playing with her dog, Theo.

Samantha is accepting new patients at the Lake Station location for Family Practice needs such as Physical & Wellness Exams, Primary and Preventative Care, Employment Physicals and more.
