Jessica Tripp, NP

Jessica has been a registered nurse (RN) for more than 10 years - first at the University of Michigan Health System in Ann Arbor, MI, and most recently in family medicine at UP Medical Group - Family Medicine | Lakewood. Following her time as an RN, Jessica returned to Northern Michigan University to earn her Doctorate in Nursing and Family Nurse Practitioner degree. "I have always been drawn to the relationships you can build as a healthcare provider. When I worked as a nurse, those relationships may have lasted only one shift, but I knew I was making a difference. Now as a nurse practitioner in bariatric care, I am passionate about partnering with patients throughout their weight-loss journey - building lasting relationships that support long-term health, confidence, and quality of life."
