About the Employer

While on a medical mission in the high Andes Mountains of Peru, mother and daughter nurse practitioners, Dede Chism and Abby Sinnett, were inspired to create Bella Health + Wellness. They realized that "poverty of spirit" wasn't only found abroad but in U.S. exam rooms as well. With a passion for life-affirming care, they saw the need for dignified healthcare, particularly in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In 2014, Bella opened its first OB-GYN practice in Colorado, offering compassionate care rooted in a pro-life charism.

In 2020, Bella expanded with a drive-thru clinic during the pandemic, growing 30%. By 2023, Bella doubled its space and, in 2025, will open a second location in Bismarck, ND, continuing to provide Christ-centered, family-oriented care.
