Taylor Kelso is a certified Nurse Practitioner, who graduated from the University of Utah with her Doctorate in Family Nursing Practice in 2021. Prior to becoming a Nurse Practitioner, she has held several roles in medicine, spanning from Emergency Medical Technician in San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles, California to Healthcare Assistant, Licensed Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse, and Charge Nurse in Salt Lake City, Utah. For over five years, she worked for a medical-surgical nursing unit at the University of Utah, collaborating with the University’s Resiliency Center to improve nursing staff support. During this time, she also completed a DNP project on Palliative Care Education for Nurses, focusing on increasing nursing knowledge and confidence with Palliative Care concepts and reasons for Palliative Care consults. Upon completing her DNP degree, she completed an additional year of training through the SLC VA Primary Care Nurse Practitioner Residency, strengthening her skills in managing chronic illness. Taylor now has the honor of working with the Supportive and Palliative Care Program as a Supportive Oncology and Survivorship (SOS) Provider. She strives to offer an extra layer of support to patients facing serious illness to allow them the possibility to live their best quality of life. Outside of her love for work, Taylor loves to snowboard, play volleyball and pickle ball, travel, bike, yoga, meditate, crochet, cook (not well), and spend time outdoors and with her young son, husband, dog, family and friends.
