Roosevelt Medical Center Welcomes New Family Nurse Practitioner

In recent weeks, Roosevelt Medical Center has welcomed its newest provider to its medical team. Kaitlyn Burch, a family nurse practitioner, will join the medical staff as the fourth facility provider and will work closely with Zoe Fugere, FNP, Mike Madden, FNP, and Dr. Carlos Trevino.

Burch is a graduate of Frontier Nursing University, in Hayden, Ky., where she received her master of science in nursing degree. She has been board certified as a family nurse practitioner since 2024. She is currently completing her doctor of nursing practice degree.

As a nurse practitioner with a focus on rural health, she has worked in a variety of healthcare settings. Before joining RMC, she was employed at Trinity Health, Destiny Med Spa, Great Plains Women’s Health Center and for the North Dakota Department of Health and Human Services.

“My goal is to ensure that every patient leaves not only feeling truly understood on a personal level, but also well-informed about their condition, treatment, and next steps, while also feeling empowered with the knowledge, resources and confidence needed to actively participate in their ongoing health and well-being,” Burch said.

Born in Yakama, Wash., Burch moved to the area in 2010, after graduating high school, to join her parents who had relocated for job opportunities during the Bakken oil boom.

“My passion for rural healthcare began during my family nurse practitioner preceptorship at Tioga Medical Center, where I gained invaluable experience caring for patients across the lifespan. That experience confirmed my desire to practice in a rural setting, where providers can build meaningful relationships with patients while delivering comprehensive, evidence-based care,” she said.

Burch will provide wellchild checkups, physicals, taking care of routine illness in patients and performing exams. She will also diagnose and treat common health problems such as infections and minor injuries, treat and monitor chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, order labs and X-rays, and provide well-child and family care.

As a nurse practitioner, she also has full prescriptive authority.

“Rural healthcare has always appealed to me because of the diversity of patients’ needs, the opportunity to practice broad-spectrum medicine, as well as the ability to make a meaningful impact within the community,” Burch said.

Together with her husband of 13-years, Dustin, she has two children, Raigen, 12 and Weston, 7.
