Krista Vlkojan Grove, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

A career built around women’s health: "I became a nurse in 2011 and a nurse practitioner in 2018. Most of my career has been spent in OB/GYN, where I have cared for women through every stage of life. I’ve worked in OB/GYN offices, delivered babies, prescribed HRT, assisted with surgeries, and spent time in primary care. Through it all, I’ve loved talking with people, hearing their stories, making connections, and helping women feel like the best versions of themselves."

I don't need convincing: "I love the unsung need Midi is meeting: creating a place where women feel safe, heard, and believed. It seems so simple, right? I want every woman to know she doesn’t have to convince me that something is wrong. We’ll talk through her symptoms and story in detail, look at how they’re affecting her life, and create a plan together that we both feel good about."

Care that sees the whole woman: "Some of my favorite moments are the small ones—happy tears, smiles, a woman realizing she finally feels heard. I’ve held hands, shared hugs, laughed, and cried with patients. I believe women are powerful, sexual, caring, nurturing, and brilliant, and I want them to always remember that."

Helping women feel like themselves again: "A woman is never just a patient. She may also be a mother, daughter, wife, sister, friend, and professional. I want her to know that I see all of those pieces of who she is. My goal is to help bring them back into balance so she can feel like herself again—and finally, actually smile."
