Casey Okong'o, MSN, RN, CNRN, SCRN

Even from a young age, Casey has had a heart for helping others. Born in Kentucky, raised in West Virginia and eventually transplanting to Indiana, Casey worked in various capacities with mentally challenged adults for 14 years. Having a desire to understand healthcare in a deeper way, she decided to go on to become a registered nurse. She attended Ivy Tech Community College and obtained her ASN and began immediately working as an RN on a stroke unit. Eventually she went on to get her BSN and even her MSN along the way. She loved the work she did on the stroke unit and decided she wanted to become a stroke certified RN – so she did. Casey has always believed that you can truly do anything you desire if you work hard and believe you can do it. As the first person in her family to receive any college degree, she was determined to take this desire for learning to others and educate as many people as possible about stroke and risk reduction. Casey is passionate about people, passionate about caring, and passionate about educating others. It is her hope that anyone who wants to learn more and further their education in order to be better providers for the patients they serve will be able to do just that!
