Standing with Vonda Reives: A Champion of Community Healthcare in Moore County

In honor of Women's History Month, TambraPlace proudly spotlights Vonda Reives, a dedicated nurse practitioner who has served Moore County for 18 years. As a leader at

North Moore Family Practice, Vonda has built lasting relationships with patients from all backgrounds, offering care rooted in trust, compassion, and unwavering dedication. Her work has left a profound impact on countless lives, as she consistently goes above and beyond to ensure her patients receive the personalized care they deserve. 💜👩‍⚕️

A Commitment Beyond Healthcare

Vonda’s commitment to her community extends beyond healthcare. For 18 years, she handled routine maintenance and ensured the space remained welcoming and functional for her patients. However, when the new owner put the building up for sale, Vonda faced a daunting and unexpected challenge. Despite her determination and quick action to secure a loan to purchase the property, the sale was ultimately withheld, leaving her practice in a state of uncertainty and upheaval.

Through this challenging ordeal, the community rallied behind Vonda, recognizing the vital role she plays as both a healthcare provider and a trusted friend. Town leaders, patients, and fellow practitioners offered their support, standing alongside her as she navigated the difficulties of securing a new location. Despite being offered a short-term lease three times as costly as her previous lease, and facing increased costs, taxes, and insurance burdens, Vonda has remained committed to her patients and her purpose. 🙌💪

🩺 A Calling, Not Just a Business

Through it all, Vonda’s dedication never wavers. She describes her work as a calling, not just a business. “You’re not in it to get rich, you’re in it because you love it,” she says, emphasizing that genuine care and building meaningful relationships are at the heart of her practice. Her motivation comes from the people who depend on her—“These are my people,” she says, and abandoning them is simply not an option. Even in the face of overwhelming adversity, her commitment to her patients keeps her moving forward, demonstrating her strength, resilience, and unwavering sense of duty.

Inspired by Compassion

Reflecting on her career, Vonda recalls being profoundly inspired by a nurse practitioner who cared for her during a difficult time as a young, pregnant woman. At just 18 years old, feeling scared and uncertain about the future, Vonda found solace and encouragement through the compassionate care she received. That moment changed her life and inspired her to follow in those footsteps—to be the person who offers hope and comfort when it’s needed most. 🕊️❤️ It was this defining experience that became the driving force behind Vonda’s lifelong dedication to nursing and community care.

A Passion for Mentorship

As a mentor and educator, Vonda is equally committed to passing on her knowledge and passion to the next generation of healthcare professionals. She serves as a preceptor for aspiring nurse practitioners. Vonda firmly believes that women in leadership roles should reach back and support those following in their footsteps. “We need to help each other and mentor those coming up behind us,” she emphasizes. Looking to the future, she jokingly stated that she wants to one day look up at a nurse practitioner caring for her and say, “Thank you, Jesus,” rather than “Oh, Lord.” 😆👏
