Valenta Golden, FNP-BC

Valenta Golden, FNP-BC brings a thoughtful, relationship-focused approach to primary care. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Georgia College and State University and later completed her Master’s degree in Nursing at Columbus State University.  She is certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Valenta chose a career in primary care because she believes healthcare is at its best when it is personal, consistent, and built on trust. She strives to be the kind of provider patients turn to not only during illness but throughout every stage of life, from preventive care and wellness visits to chronic disease management.

Valenta is especially passionate about empowering patients with knowledge, creating individualized care plans, and forming long-term partnerships that prioritize whole-person wellness. She has particular interests in preventive medicine, chronic disease management (including diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol), and supporting families through their health journeys.

Outside of work, Valenta cherishes time with her family and values the everyday moments that bring joy and connection. A famous quote by Maya Angelou guides her personal life and professional practice, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
