CCM Health is pleased to welcome Ali Peterson, APRN, CNP, CNM to their provider team. Ali attended North Dakota State University, South Dakota State University, and Frontier Nursing University. She is board certified by the Minnesota Board of Nursing, American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board, and American Midwifery Certification Board. Ali specializes in Family Practice and Midwifery Care and will begin seeing patients in September 2022. Growing up, Ali’s mom was a nurse and a loving community caregiver. Ali admired her mother’s ability to connect with people and be a helper. Ali’s parents gave her lots of opportunities to care for people, from volunteering at the Appleton Nursing Home, babysitting neighbor’s children, and waitressing at the Apple Cafe. “Caregiving and service feed my soul and the science and art of nursing has been the best career choice I was lucky to have made early in my life!”

The Labor Day Weekend is behind us now, and things are back to “normal” as the kids headed back to school this week, and for many of us, a more typical routine is with us once again.

Temperatures did warm-up a bit on Sunday with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
