Our providers are experts... and great people too! Meet
Tracy Wasserburger, NNP, the Campbell County Health January 2018 Provider of the Month.
Tracy joined the medical staff in 2009 and works with pediatricians and
nursing staff to care for normal newborns and provide comprehensive critical
care to infants in the Level II Nursery in the Campbell County Memorial Hospital
Maternal Child unit. She completed her Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) program at
East Carolina University in Greenville, NC. The online program enabled her to stay in Wyoming and
continue working while completing her clinical practice requirements in
Denver, Colorado.
Prior to completing her NNP education, Tracy was the Manager of the Maternal
Child Unit for more than 20 years, where she developed her love of learning
and passion for newborn care. Tracy is one of only two NNPs in the state
of Wyoming, and is active in the
National Association of Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (NANNP). She is currently serving her last term on the organization’s
national council, one of eight NNPs elected from across the United States.
Like many places in the United States today, Tracy has seen the number
of newborns born with substance abuse exposures greatly increase since
she began practicing. She emphasizes the importance of education without
judgment for the parents of these babies, including during prenatal visits
and breastfeeding education.
Tracy loves her work and plans to keep working for the foreseeable future,
but she also loves being on grandma duty for her sons, Jory and Trey.
Jory is in his second year of an orthopedic surgical residency at the
University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, and Trey owns a registered Angus bull ranch in Nebraska.
Daughter Hayley is working on her second Bachelor’s degree, this
one in nursing. Tracy suspects that Hayley will become an Advanced Practice
Provider like her mom someday. Tracy is very proud of her husband
Jeff, a state senator representing Campbell County in the Wyoming legislature.
Thank you, Tracy Wasserburger for providing our patients with excellent care.
