UP Health System – Portage Express Care Welcomes Jenny Bausano, FNP

UP Health System – Portage is pleased to welcome Jenny Bausano, FNP, to UP Medical Group Express Care locations. A Copper Country native, Jenny attended Finlandia University where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing and later earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Board-certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, Jenny offers the full gamut of express and family medicine care including wound repair, immunizations, sports screenings and physicals, minor injuries and more.

Jenny and her family are excited to continue residing in the Copper Country and could not think of a better place to raise their children. “I chose to stay in our small town right after high school and wanted to attend college locally. While there, I met my husband and had a family — it couldn't have worked out any better,” said Jenny.

UP Health System – Portage Express Care offers and treats the full spectrum of acute and non-life-threatening illnesses and injury services — including sore throat, fever, urinary tract infections and COVID-19 testing — while in a family-friendly environment. The clinic is staffed by skilled and compassionate nurse practitioners and physician assistants, to ensure the highest level of care is delivered to our patients.

Jenny’s goal is to help people of all ages live healthier and more active lifestyles. She especially strives to treat everyone like they’re family with the priority of always benefiting the patient. “Every patient is unique — they have their life circumstances and goals they want to reach, so it is important to listen during their vulnerable times. I am excited to join the UP Health System – Portage team and look forward to making communities healthier within the Copper Country,” said Jenny. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends and taking advantage of our beautiful Keweenaw area to explore.

Jenny joins Bruce Anderson, NP; Kevin Johnson, NP; and Guy Pellegrini, PA-C at Express Care and will primarily see patients at the Houghton Express Care at 921 W. Sharon Ave. To get connected with Jenny or another provider, call 906.483.1777 or visit UPHealthSystem.com/Express-Care
