Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) and Dermatology Certified Nurse Practitioner (DCNP) Mary Connelly Bressler joined our team of medical primary care professionals in January 2014 and provides dermatology services in our Main Clinic.
Mary received a Diploma in Nursing from St Luke's Hospital School of Nursing in Fargo, and her B.A. and M.A. in Nursing from the College of St. Scholastic in Duluth. Most recently she has practiced in the Department of Dermatology and the Urgent Care Clinic for Essentia Health in Duluth, MN. She has also worked in Emergency Services, as a Flight Nurse, and in Intensive and Critical Care in the Duluth/Superior area and Grand Rapids Minnesota.
Mary is a graduate of Fergus Falls High School and was happy to join the LRH team and move “back home” and closer to family and friends. The move also allowed her to spend time with her brother, who suffered significant disabilities due to a stroke, in his recovery journey.
Mary has been married to Glenn for over 30 years. They have one daughter Katie who is in medical school. She loves the outdoors, reading, traveling, gardening, exercising at the Hub and at the YMCA, and hanging with friends and family. Her professional interests include dermatology, emergency medicine and urgent care. She says she likes to be busy but in a “non-frantic” way and believes that Fergus Falls and the surrounding areas help nurture this lifestyle.
