In this episode of Take Charge with HELPcare, we welcome our newest nurse practitioner, Kristen Ehmke, to the team! Hosted by Lee Aase and Dan Hinmon, this conversation explores Kristen’s 12-year journey in nursing, her passion for serving rural communities, and why HELPcare’s relationship-based approach to care felt like the perfect fit.
Kristen shares what inspired her to pursue a Doctor of Nursing Practice, how mindfulness plays a role in both patient care and provider wellbeing, and what she hopes to accomplish as she begins seeing patients in our Austin clinic. You'll also hear about her interest in dermatology, her commitment to long-term patient relationships, and the future she envisions within the HELPcare model.
If you’re curious about what makes HELPcare different—or just want to hear from a compassionate provider who truly cares—this episode is a must-listen.
