MaineHealth Cancer Care Sanford Welcomes Laura Bickford, Doctor of Nursing Practitioner and Board

A Message from Laura:

I graduated University of Southern Maine with a bachelors degree in nursing in 2007. I spent most of my nursing career advancing my clinical skills in emergency medicine at local area emergency departments in Portland and southern Maine. I continued my education, clinical advancement, and leadership in clinical practice through Simmons University in Boston obtaining a masters degree in nursing and successfully completed American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) board certification as a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2017, and doctor of nursing practice in 2021. Since 2017, I have specialized in pediatric care at a private pediatric primary care practice in southern Maine.

I reside in southern Maine with my husband and our black lab Jack. I enjoy running, yoga, weight training, camping and wilderness hiking, homeopathic and natural health, nutrition, and chasing my beautiful granddaughter.
