Christine Mahone MSN, FNP-C, CCM

Family Nurse Practitioner

Reno Health Institute

Christine Mahone is a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) and chose to focus on Endocrinology early in her career as a provider. With the Endocrinology focus Christine soon realized that a person’s primary condition is not the only part of the person that requires attention. Treating the whole person, not the disease process, is ultimately more beneficial, providing better outcomes and health longevity. 

She takes a special interest in thyroid issues such as Hashimotos and Graves disease, diabetes and pre-diabetes, bio-identical hormone replacement therapy for men and women, osteopenia and osteoporosis, and resistant weight loss.

She also provides general primary care, using an integrative approach: incorporating nutrition, lifestyle medicine, and evidence-based nutraceutical supplements and/or prescription medications when needed.

Education

Christine is a proud Native Nevadan. She completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Nevada, Reno receiving her Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree. Christine practiced as a RN for over 20 years primarily in acute care, outpatient cardiology, outpatient endoscopy and case management. These years of service provided Christine with a strong foundation of patient care while being an active listener and interviewer that assisted her in creating a customized treatment plan for the patient. 

Christine completed her Master of Science in Nursing Degree at the University of Phoenix. Her preceptor hours were completed in Washoe County with a focus on community health groups. She was introduced to Integrative Medicine during these training hours and learned to incorporate those methods into her daily practice. 

Certifications, Affiliations & Service

Christine is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). She is a member of the AANP, Nevada Advanced Practice Nurses Association (NAPNA), American Association of Endocrinology (AACE) and Sigma Theta Tau International. 

When not in the office Christine enjoys time with her beautiful family, going to UNR sporting events, Vegas Knights games, outdoor activities of any kind and most of all traveling.
