McKenzie Health System is pleased to announce Family Nurse Practitioner Megan Burgess is joining the McKenzie Rural Health Clinic effective January 28. Burgess will be seeing patients along with Nurse Practitioners Michael Lewis and Brandy Trepkowski.

“As we strive to meet the healthcare needs of our community, we are pleased to continue growing our strong and compassionate teams of family healthcare providers,” said Debbie Ruggles, Director of Family Practices at McKenzie Health System. “Megan is originally from the area and it has long been a goal of hers to return to care for the community.”

I wanted a career where I could make a difference in people’s lives, which is why I pursued a career in nursing. I am really excited to be joining the McKenzie team!”
