Noel I. Green, NNP

Since she was a little girl, Noel Green, NP, only wanted two things in life. "I wanted to be a baby nurse, and I wanted to be a mom," she says. "I've been fortunate to accomplish both."

As a neonatal nurse practitioner, Noel focuses on family-centered care. She believes open communication with parents, as well as including them in decisions and the care of their newborn, helps reduce their stress and builds parenting confidence.

Working with a team passionate about what they do and where they work fulfills another dream for her. "I hoped someday I could be part of an amazing group like the one at Phoenix Children's," Noel says. "It's amazing to see our multidisciplinary team come together to care for our patients and their families."

When she's not working, Noel spends much of her time training for and racing in long-distance triathlons. The mother of two also rescues and raises Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds with her husband.
