Melinda (Mindi) Jackson, Nurse Practitioner, provides a combination of traditional and alternative medicine practices, focusing on a patient-centered and holistic approach to medicine. She offers time, education, options, and choices to all her patients while adding humor. She believes in empowering her patients, allowing patients to have a voice in their health, with 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 Family Nurse Practitioner. Mindy gained twelve years of nursing experience and one year of teaching her own course development program on bereavement for patients and families.

 

After graduating as an Advanced Practice, Family Nurse Practitioner, Mindi spent about a year practicing within a Private Practice in Eastern Iowa before opening Altruity Healthcare and Wellness Clinic. In 2019, Mindi was a recipient of 100 Great Iowa Nurses and Daisy Award for Extraordinary Nurses and was honored as Manchester Chamber of Commerce's 'Woman of the Year.' 

 

Mindi was born and raised in Northeast Iowa, married her high school sweetheart, and together they have four active boys and a daughter who passed away shortly after birth in 2011. Jackson’s hardship gave her the drive and motivation to live out altruism, share humility, care compassionately, and pursue philanthropy. Coming from a small community, experiencing loss, and attending college while raising a family, Mindi understands the importance of advocating for her patients, providing education, and offering patients a voice and choice, in their healthcare.
