Trish Fisher started as the Public Health Nurse for the Town of Walpole in 2019,

bringing with her over 20 years of nursing experience. Her primary background has

been in Pediatrics however, she recognized her passion for Public Health when she

worked as the Public Health Nurse, in the Town of Reading, for 5 years back in 2005.

After that time, she moved to Worcester where she worked as the School Nurse for the

Head Start Program for the Worcester Public Schools. She remained at this job until

she moved back to Walpole with her family in 2015 and began working at Walpole

Pediatrics. In 2019, she continued to work at both Walpole Pediatrics and for the Town

of Walpole until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, resulting in her time being fully dedicated

to her nursing role in Public Health. Working through the pandemic has given Trish an

immense appreciation of the importance of collaboration between all town entities and

she is excited to continue to build those relationships throughout Walpole in order to

offer more programs, support, and resources for all community members.
