Longtime Thompson Center nurse earns doctorate

By Emily Morrison

Congratulations to Dr. Cynthia Mehrer, who graduated in 2016 with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree (DNP) from MU’s Sinclair School of Nursing and is now a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC). Dr. Mehrer began her provider practice in the new year, which has expanded diagnostic and treatment services at the Thompson Center. Dr. Mehrer has worked with our Thompson Center families since we opened in 2005 and practiced with Dr. Judy Miles for many years before the Thompson Center was formed.
