Our Family caring for your Family!

Mason Kerian

Mason is a graduate of Waukon High School and attended the University of Iowa for eight years as she worked on earning her nurse practitioner doctorate.  She became a nurse practitioner because she saw how poor health outcomes often results from something as simple as miscommunication, a lack of trust or a missed connection between providers and their patients.

She focuses on helping her patients enjoy their lives, whether that’s infants and children, young families in the busy seasons of life, or older adults who want to stay independent and active, and welcomes all walks of life.  She cares for patients in both the Waukon and Postville Clinics.

Janet Hunter

Janet Hunter is also a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who cares for patients in our Waukon Clinic.  She has over 20 years of experience in nursing in the Wellness Department at Luther College in Decorah addressing student issues.  Mental health quickly emerged as the most pressing need.  She saw students waiting months, sometimes a year, to see a provider for medication management and too often the delay caused them to step away from school.  

Those experiences motived her to pursue her PMHNP so she could combine her passion for prevention with the ability to provide treatment, helping her patients remove barriers and thrive.
