Kathy Plascencia, MSN, NP-C

• Multiple Sclerosis & Neuroimmunology Program Nurse Practitioner

Inspired by influential mentors, my journey as a Nurse Practitioner has been driven by a deep passion for patient care and the complexities of the human body. Early on, my medical assistant school instructor, Nurse Practitioner Ms. Amy, instilled in me a commitment to excellence, compassion, and lifelong learning. Over the years, my dedication has grown through the mentorship of other nurse practitioners and the resilience of my patients, whose strength and stories continually fuel my purpose in this field. 

Specializing in neurology, particularly Multiple Sclerosis, I am passionate about empowering patients through education and early treatment to reduce disability and improve quality of life. My care philosophy centers on shared decision-making, guiding patients to take an active role in their healthcare journey. Outside of work, I find balance in nature, enjoying the outdoors and observing wildlife. Being a Nurse Practitioner is more than a career—it is my calling to provide unwavering support and exceptional care.
