Krista Maxwell NP

Krista is elated to join this talented group of physicians at Courtenay Medical
Associates. She grew up in Ottawa and completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing with honours in 2005. Since then, she has traveled for her musician partner and has had the opportunity to work at multiple different tertiary Paediatric hospitals across the country, primarily focused in critical care and emergency department.
She knew she wanted to expand her knowledge and skill set incredibly early in her BScN studies and planned to eventually become a nurse practitioner. Krista completed her graduate studies and NP certification (all ages) with 7 children in tow – from Athabasca University in December 2020.
She initially began her advanced practice as an NP at BC Children’s Hospital in both the emergency department followed by her other passion and niche of Paediatric Cardiology. Krista moved to Courtenay in April 2024 where she started her family practice in the village of Cumberland as of July 2024.
She has enjoyed settling here and beginning to form roots with her husband, 9 children, and 2 pups. She loves everything outdoors and has enjoyed exploring this beautiful gift of land called Vancouver Island.
