Anita Brandow is a certified nurse practitioner, specializing in Neonatology at Intermountain Health’s Utah Valley Hospital and American Fork Hospital. She supports newborns and families in those clinics, helping babies who are premature, have respiratory ailments, congenital and neonatal infections, feeding difficulties and more.
She is passionate about helping and caring for the tiniest, yet strongest humans on the planet. Her drive to help these young patients comes from her philosophy of care: "Babies bring hope into a dying world."
Originally from Temp, AZ, Anita enjoys spending time with my husband and six children, reading, drawing, and taking long naps.
