Kristine Lee Rutt, PNP

I am dedicated to providing comprehensive care to children and enhancing my practice through evidence based research.

I believe in providing thorough, patient-prioritized care that addresses concerns and relieves issues. I uphold the ideology that education is empowering for everyone. The more one understands about anything, the better an individual can address it. Education and understanding eliminates fear & anxiety and this allows each of us more control.

As a nonprofit, Banner Health exists to provide health care services to the communities we serve, rather than generate profits. That means that every dollar we earn is reinvested into: New hospital beds, new or expanding patient care services, new physician services, new technologies, maintaining existing equipment and facilities, and aying employees salaries. Banner also provides more than $153 million in charity care through our Financial Assistance Program. In addition, we subsidize the medical education costs for hundreds of medical residents (physicians in training), the majority of whom will stay in Arizona and Colorado, where they trained.Additionally, Banner provides important, free services like the Banner Poison and Drug Information Center Hotline, health information provided by registered nurses through our Banner Health Call Center, and school-based health centers for kids in economically challenged areas.
