Amy Butalla-Rosene is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) who has lived in Tucson for many years. She initially obtained a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Nutritional Sciences at the University of Arizona and went on to work in nutrition research and education for three years. She then pivoted her career into nursing and earned both her Master’s in Nursing in 2014 and her Doctor of Nursing Practice in 2021 from the University of Arizona.

As a nurse, Amy worked for seven years in the medical intensive care unit and as part of the acute transport team at Banner University Medical Center. As a nurse practitioner, she completed a postgraduate residency at El Rio Health in 2022 and has been working in primary care at El Rio since that time. She strongly believes in the value of primary care as a key agent for health optimization and chronic disease prevention, and she strives to build partnerships with patients to help them achieve their health goals.

In her free time, Amy prefers to be outside biking, hiking, or occasionally running, and she loves spending time with her family, friends, and beloved dogs.
