CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. – Saint Francis Healthcare System is pleased to welcome Kailey N. Bell, APRN, FNP-BC to Cape Cardiology Group. She graduated from Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, MO, in 2026, and she is board certified with the American Nurses Credentialing Center. Bell is a cardiology nurse practitioner, providing care to patients by evaluating and managing a variety of cardiovascular conditions, including hypertension, coronary artery disease, heart failure, arrhythmias and more.
Bell enjoys the challenge of cardiology because it combines physiology, critical thinking and building long-term relationships with patients. “Cardiology gives me a lot of opportunities to keep learning while also getting to know my patients over time. I’ll assess symptoms, order and review cardiac testing, manage medications and provide ongoing follow-up care. I’ll also focus on prevention through patient education, lifestyle changes and cardiovascular risk-factor management.”
Cape Cardiology Group provides comprehensive cardiovascular care and leading-edge treatment for heart-related diseases and disorders to patients across southeast Missouri.
Saint Francis Healthcare System is guided by our Mission to provide a ministry of healing, wellness, quality and love inspired by our faith in Jesus Christ. Founded by Franciscan Sisters in 1875, our priority remains the same: serve all who enter with dignity, compassion and joy.
