Brenna Lansden is an accomplished family nurse practitioner and International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant (IBCLC). She is the only family nurse practitioner and IBCLC in Morgantown and the state of West Virginia. This allows her the unique ability to provide care for both the parent and baby.
Originally from Southeastern Ohio, Brenna has spent her entire life in the heart of Appalachia. Her commitment to serving the region led her to pursue a career in healthcare.
Before transitioning to nursing, Brenna obtained a broadcast journalism degree from Marshall University (Go Herd!) and worked as a news anchor and public relations professional. These skills now empower her to actively listen to patient concerns, fostering a compassionate and patient-centered approach in her practice at WVU Medicine Cheat Lake Physicians.
As a family nurse practitioner, she provides comprehensive care to patients across the lifespan, emphasizing preventive medicine and holistic well-being.
Brenna’s expertise extends beyond primary care. She heads the outpatient lactation clinic, where she empowers new parents with evidence-based guidance on breastfeeding and infant nutrition, making her a trusted resource for families navigating the early stages of parenthood. She provides non judgmental care to all of her patients, providing lactation support from the prenatal period to weaning.
When she’s not in the clinic, Brenna enjoys exploring the scenic beauty of Appalachia, spending time with her family and collecting goofy socks.
