K. Russell Swainston

DNP, MSN, APRN/NP-C

Russ Swainston is a Family Nurse Practitioner and partner at Unity Health Center.

Having grown up in a rural southern Idaho community where cost often created barriers to accessible health care, he believes that access to affordable health care is an essential need for the hard working members of our communities, regardless of insurance coverage.

In 2011 he was fortunate to become acquainted with the founders of UHC. Upon discovering that they held the similar beliefs and goals for providing affordable and proficient health care to the community as a whole, he has practiced at UHC since.

Prior to joining UHC, Dr. Swainston spent time in family practice, orthopedics, and hospitalist pain service in Wyoming and Idaho, experiences which have helped prepare him for his current practice.

In addition to his clinical practice, he enjoys teaching, having served as a TA at the University of Wyoming in a variety of classes for students enrolled in the College of Health Sciences during his graduate program. Furthermore, he serves as a preceptor for NP students from a variety of colleges and universities throughout the county, believing that it is important to give back to the profession and assist in the preparation of our future health care providers.
When not working, Dr. Swainston, is an avid outdoorsman and sports enthusiast. He enjoys a myriad of activities such as hunting, golfing, camping, and lacrosse with his friends and family.
