Leah Kipfer, ARNP

Leah Nelson, ARNP The newest provider to the team is Nurse Practitioner, Leah Nelson. Nelson commutes from her farm near Truro, IA, although she grew up in Albia, IA. As a child, she was around nursing in her family and knew it would be her career direction. Her favorite thing about practicing in the rural setting is the ability to interact and know patients personally and the variety of cases she sees and can treat. In her free time, Nelson enjoys watching and playing sports, particularly softball, which she still plays in the summer months, doing medical research to hone her skills and the rest of her time is spent simply on the farm. When asked what one thing Nelson would change about healthcare, she answered, “Cost. I would like cost to have no impact on treatment decisions.”
