Katie Grose, NP
Katie is a family nurse practitioner, board certified through the American Association of Nurse Practitioners. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Mississippi University for Women in Columbus, MS, and her Masters of Science in Nursing through South College in Nashville, TN. She moved to Colorado in 2020 with her family.
Her nursing career centered around critical care nursing, level one trauma emergency nursing, and outpatient management of clinical infectious diseases. As a nurse practitioner, Katie has specialized in urgent care and pain management. Being able to care for patients throughout various phases of life and in a broad range of clinical settings helped her develop a strong understanding of the importance of the patient experience and the critical role of an individualized plan of care.
Katie believes that patient care should always be centered around the needs and goals of each patient. It is imperative that patients are educated on their treatment options and involved in their care plan throughout their entire patient experience. They should feel connected to their provider through open communication, feeling heard, and valued as a part of the decision-making and care-planning process. This provides each patient with the tools necessary to be successful in taking control of their health and wellness goals.
Katie enjoys spending time outside in beautiful Colorado with her husband and son. She also enjoys game nights, movies, and reading.
