Rhonda Bergeron is also one of Acadiana Practitioner’s owners. She has been a Nurse Practitioner for over 20 years and works at the Port Barre location. She has been married to Aaron for 20 years and they have six children and eight grandchildren! She loves to read and her most relaxing place is at the beach with a good book in her hand while listening to the waves. Sundays are her favorite days with Mass and then her babies and grandbabies around her dining room table. She is also a member of the Dream Team 6, a non-profit that helps people in our community with life threatening illnesses. When asked what she loves about being a Nurse Practitioner, she said, “there are multiple reasons why I still love what I do after 20 years. First and foremost, I believe everyone is here to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Taking care of others is what I absolutely know God called me to do! I truly feel that we can help mend broken bones and broken hearts. I love building relationships with my patients. One of the greatest joys as a NP is watching a patient conquer what he or she thought was an unattainable goal! I love celebrating my patient’s successes but I also love that I am able to hug them through their failures. Fun fact about Rhonda…she started taking piano lessons again two years ago as a way to relax!

Jerome Richard is one of our Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners at our Opelousas location. He has been with AP for the past several months. He has been married to Marina for eight years and they have two children, one son and one daughter who are five and six years old. His favorite hobbies are fishing, hunting, fitness, and riding ATVs with his family. When asked what he loves most about being a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, he states, “Taking care of patients is when I feel like I was genuinely able to make a difference in their mental well-being, whether that be through medication or just an encouraging conversation.” One fun fact about Jerome is that he never dreamed he would be working in healthcare however, 12 years later, he understands that it is what he has been called to do and he is proud to be able to serve others in this way.
