Meet Tonya Houston, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
At the heart of True South Wellness is Tonya Houston, a dual-certified Advanced Practice Nurse (APRN) with over 14 years of experience. Born and raised in Sand Springs, Oklahoma, Tonya has deep roots in her community, where being part of a small-town success story shaped her core values of dedication, education, and care.
​
Tonya’s professional background is as rich as it is diverse. She began her career as a high school coach and teacher for basketball and soccer, roles that ignited her lifelong passion for teaching and inspiring others to exceed their potential. Building on these values, she transitioned into healthcare, gaining hands-on experience in neonatal nursing, urgent care, family practice, skilled nursing, and post-acute rehabilitation environments. From the NICU to family practice, Tonya has carried her educator's heart into every aspect of patient care.
​
Tonya earned her Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Oklahoma and completed a post-master’s certification in Family Practice from UMASS Boston. She is dual-certified in family and neonatal care and is also a certified educator. Her well-rounded expertise allows her to connect with patients as both a healthcare provider and a mentor.
