Janis Rockabrand, Physician Assistant
Family Practice
Janis Rockabrand, PA-c, was born in Oconto, Wisconsin (aka Packer Country), on the shores of the Green Bay. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with a Bachelor of Science degree in microbiology, she worked for two years in bacteriology at the Mayo Clinic and then spent two years with the Peace Corps in the Philippines. Back from her stint overseas, Janis returned to school and obtained her B.S. degree from the Physician Assistant Program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In August of 1981, she began working at what was then the Cresco Medical Center, thinking it would be a temporary job until she could find employment in Prairie du Chien where her husband worked. Almost twenty-seven years later, Janis and her family are very happy that life unexpectedly brought them to Cresco, Iowa.
Janis is married to Jim Wolfe, and they have two grown children: Ben and Elizabeth. Jim works with the USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service. Spending time with family and friends, reading, oil painting, camping, word games, walks in the woods, and listening to music are some of Janis’ favorite pursuits. Volunteering for the Domestic and Sexual Abuse Resource Center, involvement with the Special Needs Association, and mentoring an elementary school student also fulfill a need to be of service.
Janis Rockabrand has been a family practice physician assistant since graduating in 1978 from UW-Madison. Clinic-based family practice is a good niche for her because she enjoys the variety and the challenges. During the week, Janis makes patient visits to area nursing homes. Janis sees patients at the Cresco Medical Clinic Monday through Thursday.
