Martina chose to become a nurse practitioner (NP) to improve the health of those around her in her community. At work, she is most excited to be able to make a difference for someone, even if it as simple as giving them a listening ear when they are having a hard time. The biggest influence in Martina’s life has been her parents for always encouraging her to put her best foot forward in her personal and professional life. The last few years have been busy for Martina as she raises her two young children who keep her running around. The small amount of free time she finds is typically spent outside working around the house, traveling and spending time with family and friends.

In her free time, Jordan enjoys being active through exercise and walking her dog. She also enjoys reading and traveling. I strive to provide individualized and compassionate care to my patients and to be an advocate for their best interest.

Sue Smith has always had a passion for people. She was six years old when she decided she would become a nurse someday. After spending twelve years as a registered nurse, Sue went back to school to pursue her degree and become a nurse practitioner. She felt this would allow her to form deeper, more meaningful connections with her patients. Now she loves coming to work every day, where she has the opportunity to touch someone’s life – whether that be a patient, their loved ones or her coworkers. Sue has a special interest in breast cancer. She also actively volunteers at Bronson Battle Creek Cancer Care sponsored activities, such as the annual Survivors’ Celebration.

Mary is dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care that considers all aspects of a patient's physical, spiritual and social well-being. With a specialty in palliative care, she focuses on pain and symptom management, helping patients and their families navigate complex medical journeys with comfort and dignity. Early in her career, Mary worked in a bone marrow transplant unit. This allowed her to see firsthand the importance of building strong relationships with patients and their loved ones. This experience shaped her approach to medicine, emphasizing the power of connection and holistic support.

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.
