In this Right at the Heart podcast episode, Family Nurse Practitioner Bill Wells shares his incredible journey from nursing school to owning his rural clinic. It's a dream made possible with hard work, grit, and a little help from his hometown bank. We sat down just hours after ducks hatched on his farm, a reminder that no two days in his life are the same.

What makes Bill stand out isn’t just his work ethic; it’s his genuine desire to know and care for each patient who walks through the door. From treating everyday illness to handling emergencies, he’s made it his mission to serve his community fully. And with farm animal touches around the clinic, it’s easy to see his passion for rural life runs deep.

We also talk about:

• The challenges and rewards of providing healthcare in a rural county
• Why personal connection matters in medicine
• How Farmers Bank & Trust helped support his goals every step of the way
• What keeps him grounded while juggling a clinic and a farm

Whether you're in healthcare, small business, or simply love a good story about community and calling, this episode is for you.
