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.

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.

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.

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.
