Susen Wright, APRN-CNP, is a nurse practitioner working in primary care with special interests in pediatrics, geriatrics, women's health, prevention, and chronic disease management.

She earned her Master of Science in nursing-nursing practitioner from Cedarville University and her Bachelor of Science in nursing from Kettering College. Before her current role, Susen worked as a registered nurse in the emergency department at Kettering Health Main Campus for 20 years, and for five years in the trauma program.

Susen chose to become an APP because she wanted to build on her experience and education to make a lasting difference in the lives of the patients she cares for. She also has a passion for preventing illnesses like diabetes and hypertension—diseases that can sometimes be prevented with lifestyle changes.

Outside of patient care, Susen enjoys spending time with her family, caring for her animals on her farm, gardening, and reading. She also enjoys baking, sewing, working out at the gym, and traveling.

What is a Certified Nurse Practitioner?

A certified nurse practitioner (CNP) is an advanced practice registered nurse. They hold a master’s or doctoral degree and have advanced clinical training. They collaborate with physicians to diagnose and treat patients. Like physicians, they can make referrals, provide physical exams, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medications.
