From MA to FNP, Rockrimmon Primary Care has always been her home<\/h2>\n

Teena Wright has graduated from MA to RN to FNP.<\/p>\n

Wright began her career in health care in 2010 as a medical assistant at a family practice in Colorado Springs. Today, she\u2019s still at the same clinic \u2013 now named UCHealth Primary Care \u2013 Rockrimmon, where she recently began seeing patients on her own as an advanced practice provider.<\/p>\n

Some of those are patients \u201cwho have seen me grow up,\u201d Wright says, and she\u2019s honored to have a continued and more involved part in their care. UCHealth acquired the clinic \u2013 formerly known as Strode Family Practice to neighborhood residents \u2013 in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cTeena came with the practice, and she continued to develop and grow and went to school to be a nurse,\u201d said Susan Baker, manager of clinic operations at Rockrimmon. \u201cWe are so happy she will be an NP here at the same clinic that she has been at since she started her medical journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wright said she can\u2019t imagine herself anywhere else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love developing relationships with patients. I know their background and what they do \u2013 you don\u2019t get that in a hospital setting,\u201d she said. \u201cWhen I was working in a hospital during clinicals, I knew it wasn\u2019t for me \u2013 I had to come back home.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to focusing on her education, Wright has put a priority on helping her colleagues and improving patient care.<\/p>\n

She was part of a team that developed the MA Academy \u2013 a series of classes in which new MAs can undergo skill checks so they can be confident and well-trained for their new jobs at UCHealth clinics. \u201cIt makes integration into a clinic really smooth and streamlines the whole training process for the southern region,\u201d Wright said. The medical assistants come to their new jobs ready to work and without a lot of on-site training necessary.<\/p>\n

And when the pandemic upended health care operations in 2020, Wright took it upon herself oversee infection-prevention protocols at Rockrimmon clinic. The clinic also was among one of the first in UCHealth to integrate curbside care services after COVID hit. \u201cWe integrated a process where patients can pull up, and they can be taken care of from their car. Many of our patients prefer it,\u201d she said. Some of the services offered include flu vaccinations or AIC tests to measure blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n

Baker added that Wright has continued to see patients in the office for INR tests \u2013 blood tests that monitor anticoagulant medications – rather than have them navigate Memorial Hospital Central or Memorial Hospital North for the tests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese office visits allowed patients to stay in a familiar place to get continued care instead of seeking care at another location. As these patients are older it is hard for them to navigate around the hospital,\u201d Baker said. \u201cPatients were highly grateful for the service Teena was able to provide. Because she has known these patients since being a medical assistant and RN, it has only furthered the trust and care for the patients that we continue to see.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Lloyd Strode says he\u2019s not surprised at all by Wright\u2019s career growth. \u201cI knew right off the bat she was really smart,\u201d said Strode, who has worked with Wright since her first day on the job.\u00a0 \u201cI encouraged her to go on to be an NP, and I\u2019m very proud of her. She does care deeply about the patients.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wright said she is grateful to everyone at the clinic. \u201cWe\u2019re like family. UCHealth has supported me every step of the way. It\u2019s hard to find that type of support, especially in today\u2019s world.\u201d<\/p>\n
