My name is Jennifer Manternach and I am a nurse practitioner with over twenty-five years of pediatric experience in the hospital, clinic, and school setting. I graduated in August 2020 from the University of Iowa College of Nursing Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program with a dual degree in Pediatric Primary Care and Psychiatric Mental Health. I am currently employed at Hills and Dales in Dubuque, Iowa, specializing in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. The Hills & Dales Developmental & Behavioral Health clinic specializes in comprehensive evaluation, diagnosis and individualized intervention for children and adults with a range of behavioral, developmental and learning challenges. The clinic aims to reduce barriers for individuals with disabilities and complex behavioral challenges.
