With a passion for patient care, teaching, and research, Stephanie Bork is a nurse practitioner and member of the VCU School of Nursing Faculty Practice Program, who has her hands in all three disciplines at VCU and VCU Health.

She focuses on care for people and families living with asthma, especially its most severe form that often requires taking biologic medications (injectable biologics are developed from a living organism to target molecules in the body that cause disease). Ms. Bork also has extensive experience in treating additional airway diseases of the lung like COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and bronchiectasis (mucus buildup in the lungs that can cause infection).

Her knowledge makes her a key team member of VCU Health’s Asthma program, which brings a multidisciplinary approach — physicians, NPs like Ms. Bork, and other specialists from a number of medical backgrounds, working together to manage each individual’s condition.
