Compassionate Care Rooted in Experience

Linda Ellard is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse–Clinical Nurse Specialist (APRN-CNS) with a broad clinical background spanning infectious disease, hospital medicine, burn care, chronic pain management, addiction treatment, and wound care. Since beginning her nursing career in Tulsa in 2009, she has dedicated herself to providing compassionate, evidence-based care while continually expanding her knowledge and expertise.

A Commitment to Lifelong Learning

Linda’s passion for burn nursing sparked a lasting interest in infectious disease and the complex ways infections develop, spread, and can be effectively treated. Motivated by a desire to better serve her patients, she pursued advanced practice nursing and has since worked alongside infectious disease specialists while caring for individuals with chronic pain, substance use disorders, and complex wound care needs.

She believes exceptional healthcare is built on empathy, collaboration, and a commitment to lifelong learning. By combining clinical expertise with practical, patient-centered care, Linda strives to create treatment plans that are both effective and compassionate. She views every patient interaction as an opportunity to learn, grow, and make a meaningful difference in someone’s life.

Life Beyond Nursing

Outside of her professional career, Linda enjoys spending time outdoors fishing, staying active at the gym, reading, rollerblading, and expressing her creativity through making diaper crafts. Whether caring for patients or pursuing her personal interests, she approaches each day with curiosity, dedication, and a genuine desire to help others.

Today, Linda continues to build on her diverse clinical experience while remaining committed to improving patient outcomes through thoughtful, compassionate, and evidence-based healthcare.
