Sarah Wiley

Certified Family Nurse Practitioner

Sarah grew up in northern Michigan before moving to Indiana and earning an undergraduate degree in biochemistry from Tri-State University (now known as Trine University). She started as a CNA in 2008 and earned a nursing degree from Kellogg Community College in 2010. While enjoying a successful nursing career and starting her family, she continued to work her way through graduate school. She graduated from Spring Arbor University in 2018 as a Nurse Practitioner with a focus in Family Medicine.

After beginning her career as a Family Nurse Practitioner at Marshall Medical Associates, she transitioned to Bronson Family Medicine in Marshall before joining Dr. Mark and Tim at Whole Family Direct Care in early 2021. Sarah is board certified by the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and is excited to be able to practice in the Direct Primary Care model. She feels that it has allowed her to have more time focusing on the patients and helping them achieve their optimal levels of health.

In her spare time, Sarah is a dedicated mom of three children and enjoys running and yoga.
