Linda Ellard is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse–Clinical Nurse Specialist (APRN-CNS) with extensive experience in infectious disease, hospital medicine, burn care, chronic pain management, addiction treatment and wound care. She began her nursing career in Tulsa in 2009 and has built a diverse clinical background by caring for patients across multiple healthcare settings.

Her passion for burn nursing inspired a deeper interest in infectious disease. Wanting to better understand how infections develop and how they can be effectively treated, she expanded her expertise while continuing to focus on compassionate, patient-centred care. Since becoming an APRN, she has worked alongside specialists in infectious disease while also caring for patients in chronic pain management, addiction treatment and wound care.

Linda believes that patience, continuous learning and collaboration are essential to delivering quality healthcare. She approaches every patient with empathy and strives to combine clinical knowledge with practical, evidence-based care. Throughout her career, she has remained committed to improving her skills and learning from every experience.

Outside of her professional work, Linda enjoys fishing, going to the gym, reading, rollerblading and making diaper crafts. She continues to build on her broad clinical experience while remaining dedicated to helping patients achieve the best possible outcomes through thoughtful, compassionate care.
