Certified nurse practitioner Paul Jerve, who has a specialty in acute care, is excited to join the hospitalist team at Essentia Health-St. Mary’s Medical Center.
“Essentia is a leader in health care delivery throughout the tri-state area and has a reputation of providing high-quality and patient-centered care,” Jerve said. “The values within the organization fit my own and allowed me to practice with an amazing and talented group of providers in a supportive, collaborative and goal-oriented environment.”
Jerve earned his advanced practice degree from Maryville University in St. Louis, Mo., and is certified as an acute-care nurse practitioner by the American Nurses Credentialing Center.
Jerve, who was raised in Minnesota, has spent 10 years working as a registered nurse.
“I enjoy meeting new people and talking with patients and families about their background, where they come from and what is meaningful to them,” he said. “Through this, I feel I am better able to serve their physical and emotional needs with a greater understanding of what is important to them and to their recovery during difficult times.”
