Biography
Amanda Shields, ANP-C, is a palliative care nurse practitioner with Lower Columbia Hospice & Palliative Care in Astoria.
Palliative Care is new at CMH and is starting a small pilot program in mid-August 2025. The goal is to begin expanding services throughout Clatsop County in 2026.
Shields recently worked for House Call Providers in Portland, providing primary care for fragile, medically challenged patients in a community care setting.
“Palliative care is an area in the medical field where I can truly practice holistic medicine and help my patients live the best life they can, at a time in their life where they are likely facing many challenges and life can be overwhelming,” Shields says. “I feel I have the ability to truly help my patients live a better life. Even though I may not be able to ‘cure their disease,’ I feel I can always find a way to have some positive impact on their life, comfort and well-being. That brings me great joy and professional satisfaction.”
Shields earned a master’s degree from the University of Hawaii in Honolulu, Hawaii.
