Welcome Melanie Marusczak!

Melanie Marusczak, NP is our UCSF Care at Home team's new Nurse Practitioner. Originally from Ohio, Melanie came out to California to pursue her undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley. When her mom fell ill, Melanie became intimately acquainted with Care at Home and eventually hospice. She went back to school for nursing at Samuel Merritt University in Oakland and began working in hospice and palliative care at the SFVA. Melanie then pursued her Masters in Nurse to become an NP with focus on primary care here at UCSF. While in school, Melanie worked as home hospice nurse. Now, Melanie currently works as a PCP at Lifelong Medical Care in Berkeley working with an underserved population with focus on chronic illness management.
When not working, Melanie spends as much time traveling and being outside as possible. She has 3 dogs which makes being outside easy, but traveling a little more tricky.
