Rhonda Pape, MSN, RN, FNP-BC
Nurse Practitioner
I have always know I wanted to be involved in the medical field. Early in my career I worked in the Emergency room and as a Paramedic. I moved into the ICU and spent several years working in the Columbus area as both a bedside nurse and staff educator. After finishing my Masters degree I completed a fellowship in Urgent Care Medicine.
My mom was diagnosed with progressive MS in the early 2000’s. Watching both her challenges and strength while navigating this disease has provided me with a unique view into the effects of this disease. I am excited to be a part of the once going research and care of individuals like her.
