About Kessler family health
Kessler Family Health Mission Statement
I am a certified family nurse practitioner. I have been in the healthcare industry for over 18 years with background in emergency medicine, long term care, radiology, internal medicine and family practice. I love caring for people and helping them when they are most in need.
I help people achieve their optimal healthcare outcomes by encouraging them to participate in their healthcare decision making. This helps individuals to achieve their goals.
I started this journey to open a small town, family practice with new age care but with small town hospitality. I look forward to serving the Clear Spring community and surrounding areas.
I am most excited to create a small, family practice that allows a conservative approach to medicine while giving patients medical freedom of choice in their decisions. I don’t believe in mandates of healthcare.
My core values and beliefs channel a conservative mindset that doesn’t treat unnecessarily and is open to discussion about healthcare options.
I like to measure my success by the happiness of my patients and their health.
Kessler Family Health is dedicated to providing high-quality medical care to all of our patients. We offer a wide range of medical services, including primary care, pediatrics, women's health, and more. Our services are designed to meet the diverse health needs of our patients, from newborns to seniors.
Meet Lauren
Lauren started her nursing career as a nursing assistant on an ortho/trauma floor at Washington County Hospital. She went on to pursue nursing as an LPN through a local community college and immediately returned to obtain her associates degree as a registered nurse. She graduated from Hagerstown Community College in 2010.
Upon graduation she accepted a position in a busy emergency room. This is where she accredits most of her knowledge base. She also worked in interventional radiology alongside the radiologists doing special procedures/biopsies and adding to her clinical knowledge.
In 2016, Lauren decided it was time to pursue her dream of becoming a Nurse Practitioner. She graduated from Chamberlain University in 2018 with a masters degree as a Family Nurse Practitioner and took a job at a very busy internal medicine practice. After about 3 years, Lauren missed seeing younger ages of the life span and took a job at a local family practice so she could provide care to all ages.
In her spare time, Lauren enjoys spending time with her husband and two children, cooking, traveling and looking for new adventure.
