Alyssa Bland, DNP, APRN, FNP-C

I’m Alyssa Bland, DNP, APRN, FNP-C, a certified family nurse practitioner who joined Phelps Health in September 2026. I see patients ages 6 months and older for primary care. I can help patients with a variety of ailments, such as colds and respiratory infections, ear infections, acute illnesses, anxiety, depression and management of chronic conditions, such as high blood pressure, diabetes and high cholesterol. I work closely with my collaborating physician Matthew Hurley, MD.

I’ve always been passionate about helping others and making a positive impact on people’s lives. A career in medicine allows me to do that. As a family nurse practitioner, I’m able to care for patients in any stage of life and can make a difference in the health of both individuals and whole families. 

I believe quality healthcare begins with listening and treating each patient as a whole person, not as a list of symptoms. I build relationships based on trust and try to create a space where patients feel heard, respected and comfortable asking questions.

Phelps Health is a great fit for me because their values align with my own. I want to be part of an organization that shares my commitment to high-quality, patient-centered care. 

I grew up in Bunker, Missouri, and still live there today. Family and friends are important to me, and when I’m not working, I’m spending time with my husband and daughter. I love to watch her grow and learn new skills. I also enjoy riding side-by-side ATVs and just being outdoors.

I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.
