About Me
Desireé Samples, originally from Northwest Illinois and now residing in Northwest Indiana since late 2015, is a dedicated Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. With more than 13 years of experience in this role, she brings a wealth of expertise to her practice. As a devoted wife and mother of three children—Eric (15), Addelin (12), and Colten (9)—Desireé actively engages in their academic pursuits and sports activities. Her family bonds over shared interests, including baking, hosting gatherings, hiking, playing games, and exploring new destinations. Additionally, Desireé has a compassionate side, evident in her passion for rescuing animals, as she lovingly cares for her puppy, Winnie, and her cat, Bruno.
Over the course of her 19-year career, Desireé has provided comprehensive care across all age groups, including pediatrics and adult critical care. Her experience spans diverse healthcare settings, such as retail health, psychiatric telehealth, hospice and palliative care, and private practice. Currently, she is pursuing full-time doctoral studies, on track to graduate with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree in December 2024.
Desireé's vision for the Connection Medical Clinic took shape over 5 years ago when she identified a pressing community need for healthcare that marries Christ-centered values with a commitment to excellence and affordability. This need encompasses individuals with or without insurance coverage.
At the heart of Connection Medical Clinic's mission is the aspiration to unite the body, soul, and spirit. By delivering Christ-centered services, we aim to enhance patients' health and overall well-being, all while connecting them with tailored resources that guide them on their journey to wellness.
Scheduling and appointment availability can be viewed under the APPOINTMENT SCHEDULING LINK at the top upper right corner of the website! It is better to reach out by email should you have any questions as Desireé is not in the office at this time until all of her integrations are live for her new EMR software.
