Tristan Tran
Tristan was born with the passion to help people. Growing up in a poor village, the nearest medical clinic and hospital were hours away. Access to quality healthcare was and is still a rare commodity. Tristan was raised primarily by her grandparents. Tristan left Vietnam in 1996. Growing up without her parents, Tristan learned to be self-sufficient and independent at a young age. After graduating from San Jose State University in 2008 with a major in Biological Sciences and minor in Chemistry, Tristan moved to Las Vegas to pursue a career in nursing. Tristan started working for Sunrise Hospital in 2011 as a registered nurse and followed the path to become a family nurse practitioner to be part of IPC Hospitalist Company (currently known as TeamHealth). Tristan has specialized in hospital medicine since 2014 but also ventured in all types of work environments and departments. Tristan then acquired her doctorate degree in nursing in 2018 and became a certified mental health psychiatric nurse practitioner in 2021.
Tristan has always maintained a focus to help the underserved community, a principle deep rooted from life experience. Her lifelong goal has always been to help people, but to accomplish this in the most compassionate and empathetic manner possible.
Tristan is now working to keep helping the community on a different frontline, through primary care and mental health care. She created Hope Horizon and joined Estra Behavioral and Addiction Clinic to end mental health stigma and discrimination.
