Elles S. Niessen, FNP-BC
I am the nurse practitioner for Henry Community Health OBGYN. I was born and raised on my parent’s dairy farm in Lewisville, Indiana. After completing my nursing degree from IU, Bloomington, I obtained my 1st job at IU Methodist as a trauma nurse. I knew I had the intention of coming back closer to my hometown. So after 7 years of being a nurse downtown with ICU, PCU, and med/surg experience, I completed my Master of Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Cincinnati and was recruited by Dr. Antolin to work at HCH. I have now been here for over 8 years and am very passionate about working in women’s health and obstetrics. I am happily married and with my spouse for 12 years. We have two kids of our own and we delivered at HCH OBGYN. They truly did treat me like family.

She met with my 17 year old daughter and was amazing with explaining things and no feelings of shame for not knowing things!

What a personality. Never did I ever expect to find an OBGYN doctor better than Dr Anatolin. But the first time I had Elles, I stayed with her. Obviously she is impressive.

Elles was very informative and genuinely kind. She was able to break down all of the information and present it to us in a way that was easy to understand. Very appreciative to have her be apart of my care team!
