Jessica Rucker, MSN, FNP-BC, Sodus Community Health 

Jessica first became interested in healthcare when her grandfather had open heart surgery. Watching the nurses care for him and return him to a healthy, active lifestyle impacted her career choice.

Jessica is a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP), and her approach to care is centered around her patients’ needs. She believes it’s important to encourage patients in their healthcare decisions with clear communication and continued support. As a medical provider, she can help others and give them the information needed to live healthy lives.

As an FNP, she can care for people in all stages of life and offers a broad range of care. She is very interested in women’s health, too, feeling that they have been overlooked and need quality healthcare from birth to advanced age. Preventive medicine, such as screenings, is also one of her interests.
She chose Finger Lakes Community Health because she believes every person has a right to wellness and good healthcare.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys spending time with her family and reconnecting with old friends. She likes introducing her husband to the Finger Lakes area and exploring all that has changed since she left 12 years ago.
