Jenna Westendorf is a dual-certified nurse practitioner in family and mental health care. She earned her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from the University of Iowa, where she completed advanced training to care for both the body and mind. Her goal is to provide whole-person care, especially in small communities where services may be limited.
Jenna was inspired to work in healthcare because she enjoys connecting with people, listening to their stories, and supporting them through tough times. She believes in helping patients feel seen, heard, and cared for. Jenna looks forward to helping improve access to both primary care and mental health services for our community.
Originally from Correctionville, Iowa, Jenna is a proud small-town girl who values community and family. She’s excited to bring integrated care to the area. “Being able to offer both primary and mental health services in one place is a big step forward for our community,” she says. “I’m honored to be part of that progress.”
Outside of work, Jenna stays active and enjoys the outdoors. Whether it’s golfing with her husband, wake-surfing on Okoboji, snowboarding in winter, or simply walking the dog, she’s always up for a new adventure. She’s also a big Hawkeye fan (ask her about getting engaged in the Kinnick Stadium parking lot!) and enjoys traveling, reading, Netflix marathons, and shopping trips with her sisters.
