Fremont Orthopaedics staff and physicians are important partners in the overall health of Fremont County’s communities. Their team is passionate about providing excellent, personal care to help patients of all ages and activity levels recover from pain and injuries.
Jesse Morse-Brady, DNP, MS, FNP-BC, ONP-C, joined Fremont Orthopaedics in 2019, and has been caring for patients in Fremont County since 2014 in a variety of settings.
Jesse’s interests in public and global health led her to complete a master’s degree in Health Sciences through Montana State University and a master’s degree in Nursing at the University of Arizona. She then worked in perioperative and primary care throughout Fremont County for several years before pursuing her doctorate of nursing practice at the University of Wyoming. She holds board certifications in both orthopaedics and family practice. Following her graduation from the UW nurse practitioner program, Jesse has regularly returned to the UW campus in a teaching role. She offers training for primary care nurse practitioner students in specialty orthopaedic assessment and treatment skills.
Jesse provides orthopaedic care to patients and works closely with Fremont Orthopaedics’ surgeons to help patients prepare for and recover from surgery. She treats patients with acute injuries from fractures to muscle and tendon injuries.
“It's super cool to live, work, and recreate alongside people that I also get the opportunity to take care of,” Jesse continued. “Whether I’m at a professional event, climbing in Sinks Canyon, or backpacking in the Winds, I’m meeting and interacting with people who I’ll likely have a chance to help at some point.”
Jesse’s family practice background enables her to work with patients to optimize their overall health and improve management of chronic diseases, including joint arthritis. She has particular interests in wellness, rural healthcare delivery, and the impact of orthopaedic conditions on everyday life. Jesse has a deep understanding and connection with her patients because of her outgoing lifestyle that many of her Fremont County patients share. She spends most of her free time rock climbing, bicycling, gardening, and exploring the mountains. She and her husband Ryan live in Lander, along with their dogs, cat, turkeys, geese, and soon to be colony of bees.

One of Jesse’s passions is working toward a more sustainable and stable lifestyle through homesteading and gardening. She and Ryan raise turkeys and geese, providing a reliable source of food for their friends and themselves. Jesse is also getting into beekeeping and exploring the many uses of honey. She translates her passion for healthy lifestyle pursuits and maximization of wellness measures into her holistic care of patients recovering from injuries and dealing with painful conditions.
“When I think about what my role really is, it’s educating people on their options and providing them with the information to not slow down on their path of recovery. But we also get to help guide them to an optimal recovery. Whether they need surgery or not, we are often able to help find ways to resolve people's symptoms.”
At Fremont Orthopaedics, each patient’s treatment plan is individualized to their needs, with the common goals of restoring motion and reducing pain. Most surgeries are offered on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to recover at home and make early steps to return to their desired lifestyle and activities.
“It's an honor to be in a position to help community members from all age groups and various lifestyles and professions when they seek care at our practice,” Jesse said. “It's an opportunity to blend specialty experience and knowledge into the flavor of a small town practice where people can come in and we know their names, we know their families, and we get to help them.”
