Melissa Beach has always enjoyed the science field. That, coupled with her love of working with people, was what pulled her toward the medical field. It was a win-win situation by combining the two things she is passionate about. Though her career can be challenging at times, Melissa loves coming to work every day to see her patients. She also credits her colleagues for bringing joy both to the workplace and her patients’ care experience. My goal is to help patients and families navigate hospitalization and complex medical conditions with education and compassion. Helping to make a difficult time easier for everyone involved results in a more positive experience.

Sue Smith has always had a passion for people. She was six years old when she decided she was going to become a nurse someday. After spending twelve years as a registered nurse, Sue went back to school to pursue her degree and become a nurse practitioner. She felt this would allow her to form deeper, more meaningful connections with her patients. Now she loves coming to work every day where she has the opportunity to touch someone’s life – whether that be a patient, their loved ones, or her coworkers. Sue has a special interest in breast cancer. She also actively volunteers at the Bronson Battle Creek Cancer Care sponsored activities, like the annual Survivors’ Celebration.
