Glenn chose his career in nursing because he wanted to be there for patients at the bedside. His biggest influence has been God and his mother - who has been a great example of faith, joy, hard work and unconditional love. Glenn has a special interest in critical care and providing quality excellence. Glenn enjoys participating in activities through church and in the community. He likes to golf, sing, play word games and spend time with his family. I love people and feel blessed and honored to be in a position to help with physical, mental and spiritual healing. I know God has me where he wants because I love coming to work every day, seeing my coworkers and knowing I can help the team achieve what sometimes seems impossible.

Liza chose a career in nursing because of her desire to make a difference in someone's life during their most vulnerable times. She developed a passion for neurology while working as a regional subspecialty registered nurse for the past five years at Bronson Neuroscience Center in Kalamazoo. Liza says she look forward to working with my wonderful and supportive neurology team every day. She is consistently learning from them and cherishes having these invaluable collaborative relationships. Receiving continuous love and support from family and friends has been Liza’s greatest influence—this has helped shaped her into the woman she is today, and for this, she is very grateful.

Katie was inspired to be a nurse practitioner by her mother, who is also a nurse practitioner at Bronson. Katie fell in love with cardiology in nursing school and it has been her main focus for the majority of her career. In her free time, Katie enjoys spending time with her family, watching her boys play sports, boating, playing golf and volunteering as a sports coach. I enjoy spending time with my patients to make sure they understand their health conditions and empowering them to make an impact on their overall health. I'm here to support my patients while giving them the tools to reach their health goals.

Sheena was raised from infancy by her maternal grandmother after the passing of her mother. Being raised solely by her divorced grandmother instilled in her the values of family, persistence, and striving to be your best. Sheena became a nurse to help those in need. As her nursing career continued, she decided she wanted to further her education and become a nurse practitioner. She chose a focus of adult-gerontology with a special interest in wound care. Sheena considers chronic wound care to be a challenging area of medicine, one that will allow her to expand her skills while providing personalized care for her patients. She considers her current position in the wound center to be her dream job.

Theresa “Teri” wanted to be a nurse for most of her life. She spent 15 years as a registered nurse and while it was very rewarding, she felt like she wanted to do more. She chose to become a nurse practitioner to have a bigger impact on patients and their families. She loves the challenge of working with patients to set reasonable goals that work for them and their health needs. These goals usually go hand in hand with good education to ensure the patient understands what their condition is and why these goals are important. Healthcare can be incredibly intimidating and if Teri is able to help them feel less scared or frustrated, she feels that she has achieved her goal.
