Emily Fate, DNP, APRN

Hometown: St. Paul, MN

Why I became a ­­­­­provider: I worked as a nurse for six years before going back to school for my doctorate. I think this unique provider role creates a continuity between nurses and providers, improves communication and leads to improved multidisciplinary care.

One of the challenges of this career that I enjoy is: Keeping up with the constant change in treatments, surgical techniques, new technology and research studies.

The best thing I have done for my health is: A combination of running, biking, yoga and also eating healthy but still giving into my sweet tooth in moderation.

Practice philosophy: I strive to treat all patients with respect, dignity and provide open and honest communication. I believe in tailoring care to fit each patient's unique lifestyle and partnering with them in medical decision making.
