Pediatric specialist Mary Jeppson joins Essentia Health-Mid Dakota Bismarck Gateway Clinic

The Essentia Health-Mid Dakota Bismarck Gateway Clinic is proud to welcome Mary Jeppson, an advanced practice registered nurse and certified nurse practitioner specializing in pediatrics.

"Everyone was so welcoming when I interviewed that it just felt like the best place to work," said Jeppson of her decision to join Essentia.

Jeppson received her education from the University of Alabama in Birmingham. She is certified by the Pediatric Nursing Certification Board.

"Our daughter was 3 years old when she was diagnosed with cancer," said Jeppson. "After 18 months of her treatment, I decided to return to school to become a nurse and I knew that I wanted to work in pediatrics. I spent two years in general pediatrics and 10 in pediatric oncology before becoming a nurse practitioner.

"After going through a cancer diagnosis with your child, it definitely gives you a different outlook and a better understanding of what others may be going through as you take care of them and their families."
