Hi, my name is Lenore Arnoux. I work in the Ob/Gyn department at the Kaiser Oakland Facility.

I joined Kaiser Oakland in 1995 as a Nurse Practitioner in the Ob/Gyn department. My role here is to provide care to the female patient. I provide services in prenatal, reproductive endocrinology and gynecology.

I joined the Kaiser Organization in March of 1986 as a new graduate and worked in the Post Partum Unit at Kaiser, San Francisco. I moved to Labor and Delivery and worked there for 7 years.

In 1992, I transferred to Novato Kaiser and worked as a High Risk Prenatal Nurse. It was a challenging job for me and during this time in my career as a nurse, I decided that I needed more out of nursing and made the decision to go back to school to become a Nurse Practitioner. I applied to Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia and was accepted to their NP program. I graduated as an NP in March of '95 and came back to the Bay Area where I got my first job as a Nurse Practitioner at Kaiser Oakland.

I am an educator and have taught numerous classes from Childbirth Education to my present teaching position in The Art of Contraception, an infertility class offered twice a month. I worked in the Division of Research on two prominent projects involving hormone replacement. In January of 2004, I became a Nurse Practitioner III, an accomplishment I am very proud of. It is a step in the clinical ladder for NP's who have expanded roles in their fields. I am a member of the Peer Review Committee, a mentor for new hire NP's, and a member of the NP III Selection Committee. Presently, I am developing a curriculum for new residents at Kaiser on Sexually Transmitted Diseases in our Female and Prenatal population.

I see my role as an NP to be a supporting, caring health care provider to my diverse population. Women's Health has always been my passion. I enjoy the dimension it gives to my life and the unique challenges it provides me each day.

An emergency medical condition is a medical or psychiatric condition that manifests itself by acute symptoms of sufficient severity (including severe pain) such that you could reasonably expect the absence of immediate medical attention to result in any of the following: serious jeopardy to your health, serious impairment to your bodily functions, or serious dysfunction of any bodily organ or part. An emergency medical condition is also "active labor," which means a labor when there is inadequate time for safe transfer to a Plan hospital (or designated hospital) before delivery or if a transfer poses a threat to the health of the member or unborn child.
