Josie Eoff, FNP-C

I’m Josie Eoff, FNP-C, a family nurse practitioner with the Phelps Health Gastroenterology Department. My collaborating physician is Gastroenterologist Ryan Denney, DO.

I choose to practice at Phelps Health because Rolla is where I was born and raised, where I’ve raised my family and continue to live. I first joined Phelps Health in 1995 as an RN and gained several years of GI (gastrointestinal) experience. After furthering my education, I began practicing as a family nurse practitioner in 2018, with a goal of advancing my career in the GI field. After spending time away from Phelps Health, I was excited to return in 2026 and continue caring for patients in the community where I grew up.

I see adult patients (ages 18 and up) for cirrhosis (late-stage scarring) of the liver, fatty liver, viral hepatitis, inflammatory bowel disease, colon polyps, hemorrhoids, Barrett's esophagus, peptic ulcer disease, diverticulosis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic idiopathic constipation (where the cause is unknown), chronic diarrhea, abdominal pain, GI bleeding and other GI issues.

Growing up, I enjoyed anatomy and science in high school and searched out a career that would be diverse and self-sustaining. As a GI provider, I strive to care for my patients to the best of my ability. I value a respectful and mutual collaboration with my patients, which requires attention to detail, careful observation and active listening to ensure I’m gathering accurate information.

I am married with three adult children and three grandchildren. We share our home with one dog, two cats and several fish. With my grandchildren living in Kansas, I love to travel and spend as much time with them as I can. 

Outside of work, I have several creative outlets, including reselling vintage and antique items. I also make my own jewelry, upcycling “junk” to be useful and beautiful, with a pile of projects always in the works. I have a small greenhouse and love growing flowers from seeds that I harvest. And, to keep things interesting, I also follow true crime daily.

I also offer telehealth visits, which allow patients to visit with me remotely using a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection and audio-video capabilities.
