Stephanie Wilson has spent nearly two decades caring for patients across the
Gulf Coast, bringing 12 years as a nurse practitioner and a background in emergency and urgent care medicine to her Biloxi clinic. As owner of Trinity Health Urgent Care, she combines experience with a deeply personal approach to patient care.
Inspired early by her parents, who recognized her compassion and problem- solving nature, she always knew she was meant for medicine. Today, she finds the greatest reward in helping patients during urgent moments—whether treating injuries, easing illness, or simply turning fear into comfort. “It’s the best feeling to see a grimace
turn into a smile,” she said.
At Trinity Health Urgent Care, their
mission is to provide fast, efficient, and quality healthcare to the surrounding Gulf Coast communities. They treat their patients with compassion. You are not just a number to them.
