Annelise is a compassionate health care professional dedicated to making a positive impact on others' lives. She chose to join OSF HealthCare, attracted to its warm, friendly staff, commitment to patient care and her own past positive experiences.

In her role, she's excited to establish midwifery services to OSF facilities in Central Illinois, aiming to create a relaxed atmosphere for patients during appointments.

Annelise developed a passion for health care inspired by her sister, who is also a nurse. Transitioning from pediatrics to labor and delivery after nursing school, she discovered her calling as a certified nurse midwife. Annelise values building lasting relationships with patients and guiding them with personalized care through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

On a personal note, Annelise was born in Illinois and is married to Toby.  Their three children and two energetic doodles complete their lively household. Beyond her professional commitments, she finds joy in family activities, travel and outdoor pursuits.

Annelise extends her caring nature to the community by volunteering with YoungLives, which supports teen moms.
