Dr. Kelly Wosnik, DNP, NP-C
Dr. Wosnik received her bachelors and masters degrees in Nursing from Brigham Young University and her Doctorate in Nursing (DNP) from the University of Utah. She has worked as a Nurse Practitioner since 2003. She specializes in Adolescent and Adult Mental Health. She is the founder of Bristol Health, a medical practice composed of physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician’s assistants that diagnose and treat mental health conditions. Dr. Wosnik is also the founder of CCD smiles, a foundation dedicated to the support and education for the “one in a million” with cleidocranial dysplasia. Kelly writes, “ I grew up knowing I was different. The most difficult part of CCD was all of the oral surgeries. My baby teeth never fell out on their own, my permanent teeth didn’t grow in on their own, and I had several extra teeth which had to be surgically removed. Everything in my mouth had to be done manually. I started getting teeth pulled, a few at a time at age 7, and I spent most of my Christmas, Spring, and Summer breaks undergoing surgery. My last major surgery was when I was 19 years old. “
