Vanessa Capron, NP
NURSE PRACTITIONER
Vanessa Capron moved to Durango nearly a decade ago, she had no idea that this small town would become the backdrop for the next chapter in her nursing career. What started as a fresh start in a new place soon blossomed into a deep commitment to helping others and a growing passion for patient care. Now, as a new Nurse Practitioner at Spine Colorado, Vanessa is combining her years of diverse nursing experience with her personal journey to bring a fresh perspective to spine care.
Over the past 10 years, she’s worked in various settings, including perioperative care and patient advocacy, gaining hands-on experience in both the clinical and emotional aspects of healing.
