Makesa Toure

Makesa Toure is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a wealth of experience across various healthcare settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, sub-acute care facilities, and long-term care environments. Her educational background is impressive, with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Immaculata University obtained in 2017, followed by a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner degree from the University of Pennsylvania in 2022.

Her professional journey includes significant roles at Banyan Addiction Treatment Center in Milford, DE, and Pinnacle Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center in Smyrna, DE.

In her role, Makesa is involved in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating patients, performing consultations, managing outpatients, and overseeing admissions and discharges.

Makesa’s nursing career began in 2018 at PAM Health Rehabilitation Hospital of Dover. The decision to start her own practice was driven by a combination of factors, including a shortage of healthcare providers in her community and a desire for continuity of care, as expressed by her patients.
