Stacy Brubaker, APRN-CNP

About Me

I am a primary care provider specializing in caring for adults, with an emphasis on geriatric medicine, at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center. I treat acute injuries and illnesses, manage chronic conditions including diabetes and hypertension, and offer care for dementia.

My work as a partner in each patient’s health care journey to help them achieve their health and wellness goals, and I empower them to take active roles in their health care. I prioritize education and ensure patients thoroughly understand their conditions and all treatment options, so that we can make health care decisions together. I enjoy working collaboratively, and my patients can expect empathy and honesty during every visit.

I have now been working with adults and older adults in clinical settings for nearly a decade.

But before I went into nursing, I was a professional musician in the San Francisco Bay Area. After making the decision to change my career, I found my passion for working with older adults and was certified as an adult–gerontology nurse practitioner.

My experience has also included teaching nursing and geriatric medicine to pre-licensure nursing students. Both of my roles in teaching and patient care have influenced my career path by highlighting cultural attitudes regarding older adults, as well as the disparities and challenges that exist for all age groups. I do all I can to advance patient care and to instill that same passion in future clinicians.

I am conversational in Spanish and am working to become fluent. Outside of work, I also enjoy reading and bird-watching.
