Jennifer Waldriff, an advanced practice registered nurse and certified nurse practitioner in family medicine, is thrilled to join the Essentia Health St. Joseph’s-Brainerd Clinic.
“I had a really positive experience receiving health care at Essentia, where I felt like I was really listened to and cared for,” said Waldriff. “After looking for a career change, I met with some folks from Essentia and knew I wanted to work here. I immediately felt like family and was welcomed and engaged by the staff. I look forward to working here and caring for patients in the Brainerd Lakes area.”
Waldriff received her education from St. Catherine’s University in St. Paul. She is certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.
“I believe health is a mindset and is influenced through choices and education,” said Waldriff. “I have a passion for education and prevention and like to provide tools to my patients to maximize their knowledge base to make informed choices. I want to impact the health care received in this country by empowering and engaging all ages in their care.”
