About Heart of Illinois Obstetrics and Gynecology

Genny Petersen is one of four nurse practitioners at Heart of Illinois OB-GYN, a Bloomington obstetrics and gynecology practice that also has two physicians. She joined the office in 2007, is board certified as a family nurse practitioner, and is the only clinician on the team whose bio names menopause, saying she has an interest in the care of women in the menopausal stage of life. The practice lists menopause among its health and well-being services and says it is experienced in helping women through the transition, but it names no treatment it uses, so what she prescribes is not published. The minimally invasive surgery the group advertises is assigned by name to its two physicians, and the pregnancy prevention page says the doctors handle that, so neither is described as her work. Visits can be done in the office or by video with a doctor or a nurse practitioner, and new patients complete a pre-registration form before a first appointment. She goes by Genny on the practice site and is available for speaking engagements.
