My name is Jessica Kotopka; I was born and raised on a cow and tomato farm in Imperial, NE. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology from Chadron State College in 2019. I then attended the UNMC PA program in Kearney, NE, to complete my Master of Physician Assistant Studies in 2021. Upon graduation, I began my career as a family practice PA in Alliance, NE, where I cared for patients in the nursing home, ER, clinic and was the sole provider at an outreach clinic in a nearby town. My four years in Alliance built the foundation for who I am as a provider and greatly strengthened my skill set. It was a true joy and honor to serve in rural medicine. I am now excited to join the team at East Lincoln Family Health and continue to grow my skills, serving a new population while being closer to my family. I am passionate about providing care that focuses on dignifying patients and treating the whole patient. I particularly enjoy family practice as caring for the entire family really allows you to understand the social determinants of health of each patient better. Outside of the clinic, I enjoy growing as a professional by serving as committee co chair for our state PA organization’s (NAPA) continuing education committee. I enjoy running and cooking with my husband, crafting, and quality time with my son. I look forward to becoming a part of the Lincoln community and serving your families.
Jessica Kotopka, PA-C
