The Southern Ute Health Center is bidding a heartfelt farewell to Nenette Robinson, FNP C, who is retiring after nearly a decade of service to the Southern Ute Tribe and the broader Native community. 

Robinson, a family nurse practitioner, has been a familiar and trusted presence at the clinic for close to 10 years. During her tenure, she built strong relationships with patients, earning respect not only for her clinical expertise but also for her compassion, warmth and sense of humor. 

Clinic staff say Robinson’s impact extended well beyond medical care. Her ability to connect with patients on a personal level helped foster trust and comfort, making her a valued member of the Tribal Health Team and a steady source of support for countless families. 

Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Duvall said, “Nenette has been a defining presence at the Health Center for her entire tenure. She has provided great patient care and been an excellent colleague. She will be missed, but we wish her the best in this next chapter.” 

On Monday, March 23, colleagues and community members gathered to celebrate Robinson’s career and dedication during a Harley themed barbecue hosted by the Tribal Health Team. The event served as both a tribute to her years of service and a joyful send-off as she begins a new chapter. 

While Robinson will be deeply missed by staff and patients alike, the clinic expressed pride and support for her decision to retire and spend more time with family. The Southern Ute Health Clinic extended its best wishes to Robinson as she embarks on her new adventures, noting that her legacy of care and kindness will continue to be felt long after her departure.
