Reeger Cortell, MSN, FNP

Reeger Cortell graduated from Western University of Health Sciences, Pomona, Ca, with a master’s degree in nursing and family nurse practitioner certification. We at Southern Oregon Bariatric Center (SOBC) are not only proud of the fact that Reeger graduated 1st in her class and with top honors but that she accomplished these goals by focusing her education upon obesity related conditions and care of the bariatric patient. Reeger’s focus at SOBC is to provide continuity of care for SOBC patients during the entire length of their treatment phase; including pre-operative medical evaluation and education, assistance during surgery, as well as short and long-term post-operative care. Reeger is also the Clinical Director of Healthy U, our medical weight management program.

Reeger understands that the process of weight loss is more than simply eating less, exercising more, and if one chooses, having weight reduction surgery. In fact, she believes that in order to embrace a healthier you at any time in your life, not only must your body be engaged but your mind and your spirit as well. Therefore, as one of our Southern Oregon Bariatric Center family nurse practitioner she is excited about and committed to helping you through your many levels of change.

Originally from New York, Reeger came to Southern Oregon ten years ago after living for a number of years in Northern New Mexico. She met her husband while bike riding in the Rogue Valley and is now blessed with two wonderful daughters. Reeger feels that life in the Rogue Valley provides the perfect balance of greenery and open skies, all situated amongst a community of wonderful people who share her love for Southern Oregon.
