Katharine Gross, DNP, AG-ACNP, RN, SCRN

Katharine has always wanted to work in healthcare, and realized early on that hands-on, direct patient care was her passion. Becoming a certified nurse practitioner allowed her to expand her skill set to include diagnosis, treatment, and consultations. For Katharine, the best part of coming to work each day is connecting with her colleagues and having the opportunity to meet and speak with patients. She feels very fortunate to have had excellent mentors throughout her professional and personal life that pushed her to excel and strive for excellence in life. In her free time, Katharine enjoys traveling and outdoor activities, such as hiking, fishing, and anything to do with water; she also volunteers for Habitat for Humanity.As a practitioner, I feel it’s more than just treating the disease, but treating the patient who has the disease. Every day is an opportunity for me to comfort my patients, educate them, and improve their quality of life according to their personal goals.
