CANDANCE WILLIAMS, NURSE PRACTIONER
Assistant Medical Director, Primary Care Physician
I am a hardworking, observant, and strategic individual who loves to think, create, and do. I graduated from the University of Houston with a dual degree in Biology and Health & Human Performance where I performed research to help further the UNDO* study. This was followed by an Advanced Health Sciences certificate from DUCOM. After the birth of my first daughter, I received my BSN from Thomas Jefferson University’s School of Nursing followed by a master of science in nursing. While working at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia as an RN I began to understand the importance of healthy families and children. This understanding is why I decided to choose Sayre. I believe that by helping families become mindful participants in the preservation and restoration of their physical and mental health and wellness we can change the trajectory of our community.
Fitness, nutrition, reading, research, and family are my favorite things to focus on during my free time. I enjoy muy thai, cycling, weightlifting, yoga, and Pilates. and love reading and researching anything that pertains to medicine, the natural sciences, Medieval and Tudor history, and nursing. I have three amazing children and a wonderful life partner
