Dr. Rachel Fidino

CEO, MSN, ARNP, WHNP-BC, AGN-BC, DNP

Hi, I’m Dr. Rachel Fidino. I’m so excited to be a part of your wellness journey! I am a double board-certified and dedicated Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with over 12 years of clinical experience. My passion lies in empowering women to live healthier, more fulfilling lives. I specialize in gynecology, genetics, and aesthetics, blending my medical expertise with a deep commitment to helping you feel confident inside and out.

I grew up in Waitsburg before moving to Walla Walla when I was 21. I relocated to the Tri-Cities while working as a labor and delivery registered nurse at Kennewick General Hospital. After years of practice, I founded New U Women’s Clinic & Aesthetics in February 2020, a one-stop solution that addresses almost every aspect of a woman’s life. My practice has proudly earned the titles of Best Women’s Clinic, Weight Loss Center, and Med Spa in the Tri-Cities for three straight years (2022, 2023, and 2024).

I firmly believe that healthcare should be personalized and holistic. That’s why I focus on listening to your concerns and tailoring treatments to meet your unique needs. Whether it’s offering advanced gynecological care or the latest aesthetic treatments, my goal is to help you look and feel your best.

I believe health and wellness are about more than just medicine. They involve creating balance, finding joy, and embracing the beauty of a simpler, more intentional life. That belief inspired me to create La Canneberge in September 2022, where I merge my love for health, sustainability, and mindfulness with curating natural products.

Over the years, my passion for medicine has grown into a commitment to improving lives in the most meaningful ways possible. While my medical journey started in traditional practice settings, I quickly realized that my calling was bigger than clinical care alone. That’s what led me to co-found The Healing Hands Project, where we provide free menstrual hygiene kits to homeless and low-income women.

I am a passionate advocate for women’s health. I played a key role in passing Washington State’s SB 5396 in 2023, which ensures insurance coverage for breast MRIs for women at risk of breast cancer. In 2021, I was recognized as 1 of 10 Young Professionals in Business under 40 by the Tri-Cities Journal of Business. In 2022, I was honored with the ATHENA Young Professional Leadership Award for my leadership and impact in advancing healthcare for women. I am also a National Keynote Speaker in Cancer Genetics and an FDA trainer for Merck. I speak regularly at national conferences on women’s health.

Piper Mercer

Aesthetic Nurse Injector

Piper Mercer has always been an important part of the Tri-Cities, a place where she and her family are well-known and have lived for a long time. She loves it when her family gets together the most—a simple pleasure, especially now that her adult kids are spread out and starting their own lives in different places. As much as she loves her family, she also loves being outdoors, enjoying the local sunshine, and going on outdoor trips with her husband or by herself—hiking, skiing, and boating across the rivers. She keeps her energy up with regular workouts at Orange Theory Fitness.

Her nursing career started about 20 years ago in the Tri-Cities at Kadlec Regional Medical Center. That’s where she really learned to be a nurse and where her commitment to the job started. Later, she took on a part-time job as an IV Infusion nurse at Kadlec Clinic Rheumatology, which let her take care of her five kids while still working in the nursing field, right in the neighbourhoods where she was raised. Taking a short break from nursing didn’t kill her passion for it, and she was greeted warmly when she decided to return, bringing back more experience and a stronger dedication to looking after her patients than ever.

In her hometown, Piper found herself drawn to a new side of nursing—aesthetic medicine. This area, which combines health and beauty, really excited her and seemed like the perfect way to blend her extensive medical knowledge with a creative touch. Passionate about making people feel good both inside and out, Piper sees this move as another way to make a real difference, just like she’s always done in the Tri-Cities by serving her community.

Now, as she moves into the role of aesthetic nursing, Piper brings the deep values she learned from her community with her—the belief that aesthetic treatments can really help people and the idea that taking care of patients means looking at the whole picture, not just one part. She values each person’s unique story, knowing they all add up to make the Tri-Cities what it is. Focused and dedicated, Piper is ready to take what she knows and loves about her hometown to provide a service that combines health and beauty, fully caring for her patients in the place she loves.
