Rebecca Crimmins, NP

About Rebecca Crimmins Describing herself as a born caretaker, Rebecca Crimmins, NP, said she had the goal of a career in medicine since she was a young girl. She added that her mother, a Qualified Medication Aide (QMA), always cared for sick family members, and Rebecca was part of providing that care, too. She graduated from Ball State University, Muncie, IN, with both her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and her Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner. Rebecca then worked in post- and pre-operative care as a perioperative RN and a post-anesthesia care unit RN. As a Nurse Practitioner, she helps patients improve their quality of life and their overall health status. “I love seeing a person grow and better themselves over time,” she says. “In family medicine, you get to build a relationship and help people meet their health goals.” Rebecca has learned from the people she cares for to be kind and patient, since the world of medicine is foreign to most. She hopes they see her as a warm and caring provider. In her own words… Who is or was the most influential people/role models in your life?  My best friend, Emily.
