Crete Area Medical Center (CAMC) is excited to welcome Kelsey Baxa, APRN, to our Family Practice team! Kelsey and her husband live in Hallam, NE, and she has already begun practicing part-time at our Wilber Medical Clinic and will start full-time in March, primarily at the Wilber Medical Clinic. Her areas of interest include treating arthritis, osteoporosis, and diabetes, along with general family practice concerns.

Baxa attended Clarkson College, where she received her Masters Degree in Nursing in 2016. She grew up in Lincoln, NE, and received her undergraduate degree from the University of Nebraska Medical Center – College of Nursing. She specializes in family medicine and is board-certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. Prior to becoming an APRN, Baxa worked as a Registered Nurse for five years on the Solid Organ Transplant Unit at UNMC in Omaha, NE. She also worked in Medical/Surgical as an RN prior to graduating with her APRN degree. She has previously worked as an APRN treating family practice patients, inflammatory arthritis, osteoporosis, other rheumatologic conditions, Oncology (cancer patients), and urgent care.

“I chose CAMC because I value community and teamwork. I am thrilled to be able to contribute to the communities CAMC serves,” said Baxa.

When asked about her goals as a provider at CAMC, she stated, “My approach to care is a combination of education and patient engagement. I believe in providing patients a voice in their treatment plan. I will always advocate for patients to be involved in their long-term health goals, and I will do my best to help them accomplish those.” Baxa and her husband have been married for six years, and she enjoys spending time baking, cooking, and spoiling her two Labrador dogs – Evie and Lillie. Crete Area Medical Center hopes you will join them in welcoming Kelsey Baxa, APRN, to our community.
