Meet Michelle Percopo, a Gonzaga University graduate whose journey in health care began as a teenager and now reaches across the globe.
After earning her undergraduate degree from the University of Washington, Michelle completed Gonzaga’s hybrid Nurse Practitioner program, which deepened her connection to the Jesuit value of cura personalis, or care for the whole person.
This fall, she will return to Ukraine for a second time, joining fellow providers serving patients in small rural communities and offering trauma-informed care to children and adults living through prolonged war.
Michelle’s work reflects the compassion, clinical expertise, and commitment to service that define Gonzaga nurses. Her return to Ukraine is a powerful reminder that healing begins with listening, caring, and meeting people where they are.
We are proud to call Michelle a Zag. 💙❤️
