Yes — we're licensed in Oregon
Shumeka Hill, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, CPNP-AC, LCDC II, holds licensure in Oregon. You'll need to be physically located in Oregon during your appointment, which is a requirement for every telehealth provider, not just this one.
Getting care in Oregon
Oregon's rural and coastal counties have limited psychiatric capacity, with much of the state's workforce concentrated around Portland.
We see patients across Oregon by video — including Portland, Salem, Eugene, Gresham, Bend and Medford, and every community in between. Because care is delivered remotely, where you live in Oregon makes no difference to whether you can be seen.
Weight is not a willpower problem
Appetite, satiety and metabolism are regulated by biology, and that biology can be treated. Framing weight as a character flaw is both wrong and a reason people delay care for years.
Treatment here starts with an evaluation — labs, medical history, medications you already take, and what has been tried before — rather than a subscription and a shipment.
What treatment can involve
- Evaluation of the medical drivers of weight, including thyroid, insulin resistance and PCOS
- GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide, where medically appropriate
- Review of existing medications, several of which cause weight gain
- Management of side effects, which is usually what decides whether treatment lasts
- Nutrition and activity guidance that accounts for your actual life
- Ongoing monitoring rather than a prescription and silence
Other care available in Oregon
One provider, so these are handled together rather than referred out.
Medical Weight Loss in Oregon: common questions
- Are you licensed in Oregon?
- Yes. Shumeka Hill, DNP, PMHNP-BC, FNP-BC, CPNP-AC, LCDC II, is licensed in Oregon and in 22 other states. You need to be physically located in Oregon at the time of your visit.
- Do I need to travel anywhere in Oregon?
- No. All care is delivered by video from wherever you are in Oregon. There is no office to drive to and no waiting room.
- Am I eligible for GLP-1 medication?
- Eligibility is a clinical decision based on BMI, medical history, other conditions and current medications. It is determined after evaluation, not before, and not everyone is a candidate.
- Do you prescribe brand-name or compounded medication?
- We will tell you exactly which you are being prescribed and why. The FDA has issued warnings regarding compounded GLP-1 products, and you are entitled to that information before you start.
- Can semaglutide affect my mood?
- Patients do report changes in mood, energy and sleep. Because your provider is also a psychiatric provider, this is monitored as part of your care rather than treated as somebody else's problem.
- How much weight will I lose?
- No honest provider will give you a number. Results vary substantially between people, and anyone promising a specific outcome is selling rather than treating.
Medication is prescribed only where clinically appropriate following an evaluation. No prescription is guaranteed. You must be physically located in Oregon at the time of your visit.
