Meet Stanford Call
MS, ARNP, PMHNP-BC
(he/him)
Advanced Registered Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner
I come from an academic and research background in neuroscience, neurobiology, and neuropsychology. As interesting as my research work was, I wanted the opportunity to work with individuals improving their whole health in the present. I am still a scientist at heart and enjoy assisting others in discovering avenues of research, medication education, and empowering them with improved mental health treatments and real-world solutions.
Stanford’s Philosophy of Medicine

- Are you sunrise, daylight, twilight, or night? Why?
-
Twilight. I like that there are three different terms for the transition between light and last light both before sunrise and after sunset: Astronomical twilight (sun is 18 degrees below to horizon), Nautical twilight (sun is 12 degrees below the horizon), and Civil twilight (sun is 6 degrees below the horizon).
- If you could choose your age forever, what age would you choose and why?
-
My impulse is to say 40 – a balance with between wisdom and adventure ability; but, honestly the age I am now at 52 is the most fun in terms of self-discovery and adventuring with friends and family that I have had in my life.
- If you were to geek out on something, what would you geek out on?
-
I already geek out on Star Trek, “Live long and prosper.”
