Linda (Ruthie) Rateliff, CNP


I am originally from Texas but moved to Albuquerque 20 years ago and decided to make it my permanent home. I have been passionate about healthcare since the start of my nursing career 12 years ago. I deeply enjoy caring for others as a mother and as a nurse practitioner, so working with children has been a blessing to me. When I am not at work, I am exploring New Mexico’s beautiful outdoors and savoring the authentic cuisine.
