Diana Glidden is an adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioner. She specializes in the care of adult and geriatric patients, both in the clinic and in long-term care settings. Her professional interests include orthopedics. She previously was an orthopedic registered nurse with experience in bone and joint disorders.

“My lifelong desire to help people and comfort them in times of need led me to my career in nursing, and my love of geriatrics came from the close relationships I had with my grandparents,” she says.

Glidden, who is from Boston, is an avid bicyclist, commuting daily to and from OHSU. Outside of work, she enjoys gardening, reading mystery novels and exploring the wonderful hiking trails around the state.
