About Cara:

Cara’s love lies in working with pediatric patients and their parents as partners in their healthcare needs. She spent 10 years working in advertising before deciding healthcare was her true passion. She then obtained her Bachelor of Nursing from the University of Utah. She spent her time as registered nurse providing care to the most vulnerable populations of sick and premature infants at the University of Utah hospital. It is there she gained a love for supporting families with their goals and providing education that allowed them to be champions of their own health.

To further her ability to support patients in their health journey she obtained Family Nurse Practitioner degree from Weber State University in 2019. Cara believes in treating her patients with compassion, integrity, and commitment to evidence-based care. She is certified with American Association of Nurse Practitioners and is committed to continuing education. While Cara enjoys skiing, hiking, and reading in her free time, her favorite past time is spending time with her husband and three little boys.

Parent Feedback

NP Bankhead has always been great with our son. Recently we had a new addition to the family, and we were so happy when the admin for Wee Care came in to the hospital room with a gift card for our toddler to get a free goodie from Chick Fil A. It's so nice that they didn't want him to feel left out with everything going on. Then Dr. McBride came in to check on our daughter, twice. He was soft spoken, kind and made sure to answer every question we had. Thanks so much to the entire Wee Care team in Roy! We are so grateful to all of you!
