COLUMBIA CITY, IND. – Aug. 13, 2025 – Paula Langeloh, MSN, FNP-C, APRN, has joined Parkview Physicians Group (PPG) – OB/GYN and is welcoming patients at the Columbia City office, 1270 E. S.R. 205, Suite 140.
Langeloh, a family nurse practitioner, has more than 28 years of skilled nursing experience in multiple healthcare environments including hospitals, medical offices, schools and long-term-care facilities.
“It’s a pleasure to welcome Paula back to Parkview and to our family of providers,” said Scott Gabriel, market president, Parkview Health Northwest. “She has built a wealth of experience, and with her advanced knowledge and skills, she will be an excellent health partner and guide for women no matter what their stage of life.”
Langeloh earned an Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree from Purdue University, followed by a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. She received her master’s degree (MSN, Family Nurse Practitioner) from Fort Wayne’s University of Saint Francis (USF) and sought additional training in whole-person care by pursuing AFMCP (Applying
Functional Medicine in Clinical Practice) certification through The Institute for Functional Medicine. Functional medicine focuses on the patient-provider relationship and considers the complicated influences of genetics, lifestyle and environment on health while personalizing an approach to treatment.
Langeloh is a member of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (NPWH), The Menopause Society, the Coalition of Advanced Practice Nurses of Indiana (CAPNI), the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP), and The Institute for Functional Medicine.
An early interest in science and other influences have propelled Langeloh forward in nursing.
“My father always said I should be a nurse,” she said. “But life took me in another direction. At the age of 18, I lost him, and I took a break after one year of college. Five years later, while my infant son was a patient at a children's hospital, I felt a deep pull to become a nurse. Amazed by the medical teams and the care he received, I returned to school. My passion for nursing grew over the years, and I wanted to do more. A friend and mentor, Rebecca Hollenbaugh, nurse practitioner, encouraged me to go to USF to become an NP.”
Her new role marks a return to Parkview, where Langeloh gained her early nursing experience. She began at Parkview Whitley Hospital, as a student nurse tech in the Continuing Care unit and then a registered nurse in the OB unit. She built more OB/labor-and-delivery experience at Parkview North Hospital (which became Parkview Regional Medical Center), where she worked as a maternal/fetal health nurse.
She has since worked as an elementary school nurse for Whitley County Consolidated Schools, served as a clinical instructor at USF, became a family nurse practitioner in adult internal medicine, provided complex care management for long-term-care facility patients, and owned her own family medicine practice.
“What is amazing about being a nurse is that there is a wide range of fields that allow for growth and development over time,” she said. “I have been fortunate to have had opportunities in various fields, but it has always been caring for patients and families, building relationships, and making a difference in people’s lives that has brought fulfillment and joy to my life and career.”
Langeloh is pleased to be returning to her roots: “After working in obstetrics for 12 years as an RN, I always thought I would work in women’s health as a nurse practitioner. Family practice and internal medicine provided a well-rounded, strong foundation for patient care through all stages of life. There is a need for women’s health providers, and I’m excited to serve women in our community. At this time in my career, it seems natural to circle around to where it all began.”
Langeloh describes her approach to care as thorough and holistic, with an emphasis on patient education and shared decision-making about treatment plans.
Outside of the office, she enjoys outdoor activities such as wakeboarding, water skiing, long-distance trail running and marathoning. She and her husband, Brooks, co-owner of a real estate firm, have two adult sons, Chase and Hunter, and two granddaughters.
Langeloh currently volunteers as a board member for the Whitley County Council on Aging.
