Family Medicine Nurse Practitioner Barbara Theisen knew she wanted to be a nurse early on in life. Her mother and grandmother were involved in the medical field, so it was a natural choice for Barb. “Even our family friends had careers in health care like nurses, paramedics and fire fighters,” she said. “I was surrounded by people helping people for most of my life.”
After several years as a registered nurse, Barb knew she wanted to do more for her patients. She wanted to be involved in care management, and help patients understand their health journey.
“When I started working in home health that was the turning point for me,” Barb said.
