(Atlantic) Cass Health is excited to announce that Megan Frederiksen ARNP, FNP-C is now seeing patients. Frederiksen is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and a member of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). She provides family practice care for patients of all ages.
“I started at Luther College as a pre-med major. Throughout my experience, I learned I wanted a career with better work/life balance, which led me to bedside nursing. While I developed my nursing skills, I realized I wanted a greater say in patient care. Becoming a nurse practitioner allows me to experience the benefits of both work/life balance, and helping a patient determine a plan of care that’s best for them,” said Frederiksen.
Frederiksen earned a Bachelor of Science from Luther College in 2007 and then completed a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Nebraska Methodist in 2009. During her nursing career at Cass Health, Frederiksen primarily worked in the Emergency Department, Obstetrics, and most recently, Cardiac Rehab. After more than a decade in nursing, Frederiksen returned to school and completed her Master of Science in Nursing at Clarkson College, graduating in August 2024.
When asked about what it means to now provide care in the community she grew up in, she said, “Since I grew up here, I know a lot of the community, and over the course of my nursing career, I’ve met even more people. Small towns are big families, so it’s like taking care of family.”
