Tammy Newsome, FNP-C
ADULT & FAMILY CARE
Tammy Newsome is a family nurse practitioner in family practice at the Downtown Muncie health center. She is a graduate of Muncie Southside High School and continues to live on the city’s south side. When asked why she chose to work at Open Door, she said, “These are my people. I’ve spent my entire life here, and I want to give back to my people.”
Tammy started her nursing career in 2006 and went on to earn her bachelor’s in nursing in 2018 and her master’s in 2020. She has nearly twenty years of nursing experience from IU Health Ball Memorial, where she worked across the hospital in a variety of departments.
Her passion for nursing has been passed on to her two adult daughters, who are pursuing nursing careers of their own. In her free time, Tammy loves being outdoors, spending time with her granddaughters and working with her Boxer dogs, that are truly a part of the family.
