Welcoming Elise Pesch

02.15.2022

 

We are thrilled to welcome Nurse Practitioner Elise Pesch to our growing Maple Grove team!

Elise began her nursing career in Labor and Delivery, caring for many women with high-risk pregnancies at two academic medical centers in Chicago and later serving as a mentor for other nursing students. This encouraged her to pursue a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree at Rush University, where she worked as a family planning clinic registered nurse and provided patient education on breastfeeding, surgical procedures and more.

“I became fascinated with pregnancy in college after taking classes in developmental psychology and medical anthropology. I am very much a ‘people person,’ so becoming a nurse and eventually a nurse practitioner felt like the right role for me to pursue in making a positive difference in people's lives,” she said. “I recognize that each individual begins a pregnancy under different circumstances and will need different types of support throughout their pregnancy. My goal is to provide individualized care to help each person have as healthy of a pregnancy as possible.”

Elise also served as an OBGYN triage nurse, where she developed an interest in gynecology as well: “I love the continuity that comes with the OBGYN specialty—that I can support my patients over many years from young adulthood through menopause,” she added. Mostly recently, she was a Family Nurse Practitioner and OBGYN health resource for the physicians at Axis Medical Center and Family Clinic, where she helped patients manage early pregnancy and breast concerns with a holistic approach to care. Outside of work, Elise likes to try new restaurants, practice yoga, walk and bike around the Minneapolis lakes and in nature, and enjoy her husband’s home-cooked meals.
