Sherri Ledford, RN, BSN & Rachel Iancu, RN, MSN
Our nursing team plays a vital role in the patient experience at Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center. Sherri and Rachel work closely together to support patients through every step of their visit, from lab testing and IV therapy to preparing patients for their time with our practitioners. Their combined experience and compassionate approach help create a comfortable, supportive environment where patients feel truly cared for.
With decades of combined experience across hospital, emergency, cardiac, and critical care settings, they bring both clinical excellence and a strong foundation in patient-centered care. Their transition into integrative medicine reflects a shared passion for helping patients achieve lasting wellness by focusing on root causes rather than simply managing symptoms.
In their roles, they assist with rooming patients, obtaining vital signs, performing blood draws for advanced laboratory testing, administering IV therapies and therapeutic injections, and supporting providers throughout the day. They are also dedicated to helping patients navigate cost-effective options for their care, ensuring a smooth and positive experience.
They believe what sets Tenpenny Integrative Medical Center apart is the time, attention, and intention given to each patient. For both Sherri and Rachel, the most rewarding part of their work is seeing patients improve, regain their energy, and return to the activities they enjoy most.
