About Web Guide to Healthcare
About Victoria Wermers, RN, MSN, FNP, PMHNP
Founder, Lead Contributor
With over 25 years of experience as a Family Nurse Practitioner, I’ve worked in private practice and minor acute care clinics, integrating mental health into primary care. My background includes diverse roles in emergency care, intensive care, mental health, geriatrics, women’s health, teaching, and occupational medicine, as well as experience as a psychiatric technician in the military.
​
After being diagnosed with breast cancer seven years ago, I reflected on my goals and recognized the need for better healthcare access and education. This inspired me to create Web Guide to Healthcare—a platform designed to empower individuals with knowledge and to provide accessible care. Through telehealth services, I can offer convenient, supportive services that bridge gaps in traditional healthcare, ensuring that patients can receive timely, affordable care from the comfort of their homes.

I am committed to continuously updating this site and welcome your feedback, questions, suggestions, and ideas for additions or changes.
Please note: AI can be helpful, but not always. I gather all my material from reputable sources. When I do use AI, I look for and ask for evidence-based sources. Sometimes I reference AI to clarify information I have gathered elsewhere, to check the validity of my information, to make my site "search-worthy", sometimes to search for terms, or to overcome a moment of writer's block. Still, I do not use AI to diagnose patients. If it requires that, then it is not a patient I will see. The information here is built on many hours of research.
