Betsy Madden, APRN, CPNP-PC
Pediatric Nurse Practitioner

I began my journey with DCFC during the COVID-19 pandemic as Project Manager and moved into the position of Director of Operations in 2021.  I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and Environmental Studies from Macalester College and a Master of Public Policy degree with an emphasis in Public and Nonprofit Management from the Humphrey Institute at the University of Minnesota.  My work experience includes nearly 10 years in public policy and research at the State of Minnesota. I am excited to expand my work at the clinic, continuing to focus on resource development and out-of-the-box solutions to address the needs of our community. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my husband, 3 kids, and our 2 rescue dogs.

I joined DCFC in 2022 because I believe in their mission, love being part of the community changing work they are doing, and want to show my three children that a mom can be ALL the things.  I am thrilled to bring the financial management tools I’ve collected working in the non-profit sector to this awesome team of frontline workers.

I was hired in 2008 as an intern at DCFC. I currently hold three roles: Lab Supervisor, Medical Assistant and Medical Biller. I love working for a non-profit clinic because no matter what sub-sector you work in, you have the chance to see the impact our clinic is making.

I began at DCFC during my externship from Herzing in 2021 and was hired soon after. My current job title is Medical Assistant with part of my time focused on billing. The DCFC mission and vision align with my personal worldview on access to high-quality care. When I’m not working, I’m with my kids doing kid stuff; basketball, chess, golf, dance…

I am a graduate of the Medical Administrative Specialist Program at DCTC. I am a service-oriented individual, and after looking at the mission statement of Dakota Child and Family Clinic, I realized that this was right up my alley! When I am not working, I am a card-carrying clown, and can be seen in many local parades and charity events.

After working in retail for many years, I jumpstarted a career in healthcare by joining the front desk staff at DCFC. Outside of work, you’ll find me doing one of two things; curling up with a book and my two cats, or playing Dungeons & Dragons and generally nerding out with my friends!

I sought out a position at DCFC because it a positive force in the community. I love that we prioritize the well being of our patients over their ability to pay. When I am not at work, I am spending time with my kids and husband.

I found DCFC when searching for clinical sites for my RN-BSN program. I started as a clinical student and quickly fell in love with the mission to provide quality health care for all. I am proud to now be a part of the DCFC family as a care coordinator. When not at work, I can be spotted camping along the North Shore with my husband and dog or traveling to new places. 

After 15+ years of working in Retail Management it was time to move into a position that was more purposeful. DCFC’s mission and community outreach programs were exactly what I was looking for.  I am excited to be a part of this clinic and this community. When not at work you can find me outside with my Husband, our 2 kids and our dog with a coffee and book in hand!

I joined the DCFC team because it was time! I believe in the mission and am thrilled to be on board. When I am not at the clinic, I am spending time with my family, playing soccer, and embodying a “mom-taxi.”

I have been with DCFC over 10 years; first as a volunteer, then as the Community Outreach Manager and now as Executive Director. I live in the community and am a parent to children with disabilities, DCFC has been a lifeline for my family and I know it has for many others as well. I’m proud of the tireless work the clinic does to support all our community members and the passion all the DCFC staff has to make sure everyone has the opportunity to receive quality health care.

In 2021, I began working at DCFC as a student. I have gained so much hands-on experience and value the education I received working as a medical assistant. If you want to know the way to my heart, bring me a Capri Sun!

I am an alumna of Saint Catherine University with a BS in Public Health concentrating in the Health Sciences. I am passionate about working with underserved communities to assist them with resources and education to improve their health. I joined DCFC because its mission and vision align with my thoughts of what healthcare should be when seeking care. Outside of work, I enjoy the outdoors, reading books, spending quality time with family, and watching Korean and Chinese dramas.

I found DCFC in 2019 while looking for a way to use my nursing background to better help with COVID Care. I am now on the care coordination team at Dakota Child and Family Clinic, and love the staff and mission! I enjoy the opportunity to link the clinic and providers with patients and families to help coordinate their care.

I am currently in my 4th year at the University of Minnesota – TC studying Health and Wellbeing Sciences in hopes of becoming a future physician! I originally began working for DCFC last fall to assist in COVID testing at various school sites but now moved to a Medical Assistant position. DCFC has been a tremendous help to my pre-med journey and helped me expand my knowledge in all aspects of the healthcare field.
