Hema Kaladeen
Nurse Practitioner
Peoria Office
I am determined to improve and maintain the health of my patients by providing compassionate, attentive, individualized patient care that adheres to current evidence-based guidelines. I believe that focusing on health promotion and disease prevention is the key to achieving optimal patient outcomes.
As a nurse practitioner in Peoria, I believe that it is extremely important to help patients figure out how to prevent diseases so that they never have to experience all the complications that can occur with so many preventable diseases. I enjoy building long-lasting relationships with my patients and providing them with the information that they need to make healthy lifestyle choices.
My Story
I was born in Guyana, South America. My parents left their beautiful home and financial security in Guyana in hopes of providing me and my younger brother with better educational opportunities. I took that opportunity very seriously and decided to choose a career that was centered around helping others.
I spent the first part of my career as a registered nurse in the hospital setting. I would always wonder what happened to my patients after they were discharged from the hospital. I wanted to play a much larger role in their health journey and that’s when I decided to go back to school to become a nurse practitioner.
The most rewarding aspect of my job at Ark is helping my patients become happier and healthier. I love working with them to develop personalized care plans that fit their unique needs.
When I am not working, you’ll find me hanging out with my two sons and husband. We love spending time outside, traveling to new places, and eating delicious food.
