Melissa Dean-Appasu, FNP-BC

I have 22 years of experience caring for patients from birth to 100 years of age. I received my undergraduate degree from Indiana University Purdue University, earning my Bachelor of Science in Informatics with a cognate in Data Analysis and chemi-informatics, and later received my second Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Indiana State University. I advanced my education by receiving my Master of Science in Advance Nursing Practice from Indiana State University. I worked in multiple practice settings including primary care, inpatient and outpatient mental health, and urgent care for the past ten years. My top priority is always my patients' well-being, and I strive to provide high-quality care that can improve their everyday lives. I take a holistic approach to treatment, considering the individual needs and circumstances of each patient, and aim to provide patient-centered, evidence-based care. Beyond my professional endeavors, I relish quality time spent with my family, exploring the literary world at the library, embarking on international adventures, and nurturing my passion for home gardening.
