FirstHealth Welcomes Nurse Practitioner Tania Oliveira to Primary Care - Pinehurst

PINEHURST, N.C. - FirstHealth of the Carolinas is pleased to welcome Tania Oliveira, DNP, FNP-BC, CCM, CARN, to its team of providers at FirstHealth Primary Care-Pinehurst.

Oliveira, a board certified family nurse practitioner, joins Peter Dorton, M.D., and Brianne Evans, PA-C, and will focus on prevention, women's health and chronic disease management.

Oliveira earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice in Family Primary Care from the University of Utah, completing diverse rotations across primary care, pediatrics, urgent care, women's health and veterans' health services. She also holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Bachelor of Exercise Science from Brigham Young University.

Dedicated to Prevention and Primary Care in Pinehurst

Her clinical interests are rooted in helping patients live full, healthy lives. "I love preventive care - being in tune with your body as it ages is key to preventing chronic diseases and improving quality of life," said Oliveira. "I'm also passionate about women's health, empowering women to make informed choices about their health and well-being."

Experience in Substance Use Disorder Treatment

In addition, Oliveira brings extensive experience in substance use disorder treatment, an area she describes as a personal passion. "Overcoming addiction is hard work, and it requires a true partnership between provider and patient," she said. "Any progress toward sobriety is a victory worth celebrating."

Originally from Brazil, Oliveira has lived in the U.S. for nearly 30 years. She previously lived in Apex, N.C., and is excited to return to the region she calls welcoming and kind. "The supportive team I met during my interviews made me feel lucky to be considered for this position. I knew FirstHealth was the right place for me," she said.

Outside of work, Oliveira enjoys reading - often 10 to 12 books a month - as well as working out, traveling, walking her dogs and spending time with family and friends.

"We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Oliveira to FirstHealth Primary Care," said Dan Barnes, D.O., president of FirstHealth Physician Group. "Her expertise, passion for prevention and dedication to helping patients achieve healthier, happier lives make her a tremendous asset to our team and our community."
