About Janus It was somewhere between middle school and high school that Janus Flora knew he wanted a career in medicine. “I don’t come from a long line of medical professionals,” he says. “Somehow I just knew that would be my path. I’m actually the first person in my family to graduate college.”
As a family nurse practitioner, Janus helps to manage patients’ medical conditions while they’re in the hospital. “I enjoy helping people by treating acute medical issues, while also balancing chronic conditions,” he explains, noting that building a rapport with his patients is extremely important. “That’s especially helpful when it comes to educating them on what they must do and what to avoid, so they can be on board with their care plan. I want my patients to know they can trust me and that I will always be straightforward with them.”
In his own words… Who is or was the most influential person/role model in your life? My dad has always been a very hard worker and instilled the importance of doing your best at whatever you like and plan to do.
What was your first job growing up? What do you remember most about it? My first job was helping my dad at his shop. I remember starting out doing a lot of cleaning and transitioning to more complex tasks.
What is your favorite food? Movie? It’s difficult to choose, but steak is among my favorites. I do not have a favorite movie.
What were your best/worst subjects in school growing up? My best subject was science, and my worst was foreign language.
If you could sit down to dinner with anyone (alive or deceased), who would it be and why? I would sit down to dinner with my grandma who passed away in 2019.
In addition to medicine, what are you passionate about? What are your hobbies, interests? I am passionate about helping young people set and work toward life goals. I really enjoy outdoor activities such as fishing, shooting, hiking, biking and traveling.
What is something most people don’t know about you? I have gone sky diving before.
