Desiree Mollnow MSN, FNP-BC
Desiree is the founder and CEO of UpState of Health. She is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner specializing in metabolic health, medical weight management, and hormone replacement. Previously, she worked as a primary care provider, where her passion for preventative medicine and metabolic health continued to grow.
