Melinda (Mindi) Jackson, ARNP, FNP-BC
Owner, Nurse Practitioner
Melinda (Mindi) Jackson, Nurse Practitioner, combines traditional and alternative medicine practices with a patient-centered, holistic approach to healthcare. She offers her patients time, education, options, and choices while bringing humor and compassion into every interaction. She believes in empowering patients by giving them a voice in their healthcare through shared decision-making and bringing hope and faith back into healthcare.
In October 2021, Jackson graduated from Chamberlain University with a Master of Science in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Mindi gained twelve years of nursing experience, along with one year of developing and teaching her own bereavement course for patients and families. To expand her care services, she completed additional education in naturopathy, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, dermatology, advanced nutritional infusions, and injections.
After becoming an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN) and Family Nurse Practitioner, Mindi spent approximately one year practicing in a private practice in Eastern Iowa before opening Altruity Healthcare & Wellness Clinic. In 2019, Mindi was recognized as one of the 100 Great Iowa Nurses, received the DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses, and was honored as the Manchester Chamber of Commerce’s Woman of the Year.
Mindi was born and raised in Northeast Iowa. She married her high school sweetheart, and together they have four active boys and a daughter who passed away shortly after birth in 2011. Mindi’s personal experiences with loss and hardship have given her the drive and motivation to live out altruism, practice humility, provide compassionate care, and pursue philanthropy.
Coming from a small community, experiencing loss, and attending college while raising a family have shaped Mindi’s understanding of the importance of advocating for patients, providing education, and ensuring every patient has a voice and choice in their healthcare.
