In this role she provides clinical care for patients with vascular and neurovascular conditions across multiple settings, including the outpatient clinic at Neenah, inpatient hospital settings, and critical care environments.

What is the difference between seeing Sherry Konen and a physician at Neuroscience Group?
As an Advanced Practice Nurse Practitioner, Sherry works collaboratively with and under the oversight of the physicians on the neurointerventional radiology team. She is trained to evaluate, manage, and educate patients across a broad scope of neurological and vascular conditions, and her dual FNP-BC and CCRN credentials reflect both her outpatient and critical care clinical depth.

Procedural interventions are performed by the physicians on the team, and complex clinical decisions are made collaboratively. Sherry's background across clinic, hospital, and critical care settings means patients benefit from a provider who is comfortable managing both routine and complex aspects of their care.
What conditions does Sherry Konen help manage?
Sherry helps manage patients with neurological and neurovascular conditions treated through Neuroscience Group's neurointerventional radiology program. This includes conditions such as stroke, brain aneurysms, cerebrovascular disease, and other vascular disorders of the brain and central nervous system that are evaluated or treated by the endovascular team. Her critical care background gives her particular depth in managing patients with acute or high-acuity neurological events, including those who require monitoring and management in hospital and critical care settings as part of their overall treatment plan.
What is Sherry's approach to patient care?
Sherry was drawn to healthcare specifically because of the patient interactions, and her approach centers on genuine connection, education, and collaborative problem-solving. She is fascinated by both advances in medical treatment and by improvements in the patient experience, and she brings both of those interests to her work in neurointerventional radiology, where care can be complex and patients often need clear, accessible explanations of their condition and what their treatment involves. Her goal is to help each patient understand their situation fully and work with them to improve their overall health, not just address the immediate clinical concern.
