“Roni” Veroncia Fox MSN, RN, FNP, PMHNP became an RN in 1996, and her primary areas of work were in ICU and cath lab. She also worked during that time as a unix system administrator for American Express and IBM. After years of wanting to become a NP she entered the MSN FNP program at University of Arizona in the fall of 2007. She graduated in 2010 from University of Arizona with her MSN degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and wrote “A Breastfeeding Educational Module for Healthcare Providers” for her Master’s Project. During her MSN program, in addition to her NP education, she birthed her daughter, learned her son has autism, and learned about the effects of environmental toxins on health. Two weeks after starting her first job as an NP, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and spent the next year doing surgery, chemo, and radiation instead of practicing. As a result of her experiences during those 5 years, she has become passionate about women’s health, integrative medicine, allergies, autism, nutrition, and organic and “whole food” eating.

After working for a few years as a Family NP, Roni realized there is a huge need for Psychiatric providers and went back to University of Arizona to complete her Family Psychiatric Mental-Health NP (PMHNP). She finished that program in 2015, and has since been providing psychiatric care for persons of all ages, with a special interest in children and teens.

Roni actively participated in the AZ Nurse Practitioner Council (AZNPC) for many years. She has previoulsy worked on the Public Relations committee, served as Membership Chair, Treasurer, and Secretary. The AZNPC is the Nurse Practitioner chapter of the Arizona Nurse’s Association (a chapter of the American Nurse Association). She is also a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). Roni has also served on the Advanced Practice Committee for the Arizona Board of Nursing.

Roni believes that as human beings we can only achieve our fullest potential when we are in good health. Her view of health focuses on her patients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual needs; as well as their interactions with other people and their environment. As a healthcare provider she believes she should strive for her patients to attain their best possible health while taking into account their personal expectations and needs. This can only be done by partnering with her patients and working together towards their healthcare goals.

Roni lives in Anthem with her two children, and enjoys being part of the Anthem and Tramonto communities.
