“Christine is the best nurse practitioner that my children and I have ever had. She’s not only caring and considerate—she truly loves what she does, and it shows in her kindness and upbeat personality. We’ve been her patients for over 10 years, and I would recommend her to any of my friends and family.”

That kind of trust doesn’t happen by accident.

Christine Coulter, RN, FNP, has cared for families for more than a decade with a model of care that is centered on listening, compassion, and partnership. She takes time to understand the full picture (physical health, mental well-being, and the real-life challenges patients face) so care feels personal, not rushed.

At Primary Care Partners of South Bend, we strive to make sure our patients feel heard, respected, and supported every step of the way.

Understanding how stress shows up in your body is the first step toward addressing it. Our latest blog explores what the “winter wall” looks like and offers practical ways to manage seasonal stress.

Healthy relationships can really affect your overall health. Strong, supportive connections are linked to lower stress levels, improved mental health, and better physical outcomes over time. When relationships feel safe and respectful, they can be a protective factor for both emotional and physical well-being.

If stress, conflict, or emotional strain is affecting your physical health, it may be worth discussing with your provider.

✨ Provider spotlight: Rebekah Kottkamp, FNP

“Best healthcare provider I’ve ever had. Never rushes you, always listens to my own recommendations about medicine or treatment, and if she’s not heard of it, she investigates it herself. She takes time she doesn’t have to help me feel better. She never dismisses my feelings. I don’t know what I’d do without her.”

Patients consistently share how supported and respected they feel in Rebekah’s care. Her approach is thoughtful, curious, and deeply patient-centered, focused on listening first and partnering on next steps.

If you’ve ever been cared for by Rebekah, you know what makes her special. She builds real relationships with the people she serves, creating care that feels personal and collaborative.

At Primary Care Partners of South Bend, patients choose Rebekah for compassionate, attentive care. She listens, explains options, and works with you to find the right path forward.
