Lauren M Rupp, CRNP

Why I chose to pursue a career in healthcare?:I chose a career in healthcare because it gives me the opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives while supporting them through some of their most vulnerable moments. I value the relationships I build with my patients and the trust they place in me. Healthcare also offers endless opportunities to learn and grow, which continues to make this a rewarding and fulfilling career for me.What I want my patients to know about me?:I want my patients to know that I genuinely care about their experience and want them to feel comfortable, heard and supported. I believe in taking the time to listen, answer questions and work together to find the best path forward. My goal is for my patients to feel that they have a partner in their care and that they can always feel comfortable coming to me with their concerns.What I do when I’m not seeing patients?:When I am not seeing patients, I love spending time with my husband and our …daughter. We enjoy making the most of our time as a family, whether that means exploring new places, spending time outdoors, enjoying good food, listening to music or simply being together at home. I also enjoy gardening, traveling and cheering on Penn State football whenever we get the chance!
