Elizabeth Boyd

Registered Nurse

Elizabeth Boyd is a registered nurse with ten years of nursing experience, her focus has always been on the health and long-term well-being of her patients. She began her nursing career in 2016 on the telemetry unit at Renown South Meadows, during that time she cared for critically ill cardiac patients. This exposure to chronic cardiovascular disease illuminated the necessity for preventive and lifestyle medicine.

Elizabeth has been a Reno resident for over 15 years and was raised in Truckee, California where she attended Truckee High School. She received her nursing degree from the Maxine S. Jacob’s Nursing Program at Truckee Meadows Community College.

Elizabeth received her degree in nursing from Truckee Meadows Community College in 2015; while completing the nursing program she maintained an active role in the Maxine S. Jacobs Student Nursing Association and participated in the Peer Advisor Program.

Having always had a passion for helping people, especially the elderly and those with chronic diseases, Elizabeth began her career in the healthcare field as a personal care assistant. She then completed her certified nursing assistant training at Truckee Meadows Community College, and shortly after was accepted into the Maxine S. Jacobs Nursing Program.

After graduating in 2015, she accepted a position on the telemetry unit at Renown South Meadows. Wishing to move to the outpatient setting to develop better relationships with her patients, she accepted a position in 2017 at Executive Health with Dr. Quinn Pauly. Since that time, her passion has been helping patients through the power of lifestyle medicine and unsurpassed diagnostics to help them achieve quality of life, for life.

She enjoys hiking and snowshoeing with her two dogs. Her and her husband share a love of cooking and especially enjoy creating new and delicious whole food, plant-based recipes. She also enjoys splitting her time between home DIY projects and exploring northern Nevada and the California coast.
