Announcing our newest APRN to the WFMS team
- Lydia Schwertfeger is a board certified Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She completed her bachelors and doctorate in nursing at Wichita State University. Before becoming an APRN in 2023, she worked as an RN at a rural Zambian hospital for five months and then as a Cardiac ICU RN at Kansas Heart Hospital for eight years. Wichita Family Medicine was her favorite clinical rotation as a student, so she is thrilled and extremely grateful to join such a great team of providers. Coming from the ICU setting, she strives to prevent hospitalization with thorough and holistic primary care. Outside of work, she volunteers both locally and abroad, including international disaster relief and local service to international patients. Although she loves traveling and studying culture, she is a Wichita native and enthusiast. She enjoys spending quality time with friends and family in the area, especially if it involves being outdoors or live music.

Telemedicine is now available for our patients!
We at WFMS are excited to offer you the ability to connect with your healthcare provider through telemedicine! Did you know most of the services we normally provide during a face-to-face office visit can be provided simply by using your smartphone or another device with a camera? You can see and visit with your regular provider during a scheduled appointment time but from the comfort and safety of your home or other secure location.
How does telemedicine work?
1. Contact our office to schedule an appointment just like you normally would.
2. You will be placed on your provider's schedule just like normal.
3. When it's time for your appointment, your provider will send you a text message, email, or other invitation to create a video and audio link.
4. Follow the link and - if asked - allow your device to use your camera and microphone for the visit.
