GCH Clinics announces the addition of Renea Kestel, ARNP, as a board-certified family nurse practitioner. She received her BSN and MSN from the University of Phoenix and Family Nurse Practice Certification from Graceland University. She has spent the majority of her nurse practitioner career with family practice and walk-in clinics. She also served as a nurse practitioner within the Army Nurse Corps Army Reserves.

“I look forward to joining the Panora GCH team. I raised my family in a small town in northwest Iowa, and I truly enjoy a small-town environment. I enjoy getting to know patients and their families, and though I hope to inspire my patients, I find my patients most often inspire me,” Kestel stated. 

Kestel will be seeing patients at the walk-in clinic in Panora beginning in mid-September. The hours for the walk-in clinic are 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. each weekday. The clinic is closed for lunch from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m.
