Kaelah Payne, FNP-C, has always been a caretaker with
family members and friends, and finds deep satisfaction
from having a hand in helping people. She began
her career as a registered nurse in the emergency
department and served on the front line during the
COVID pandemic. Wanting to grow in her career,
she returned to school to earn her nurse practitioner
certification. She worked several years as a nurse
practitioner in urgent care and aesthetics before coming
to TriHealth.
Kaelah sees patients with headache and migraine
disorders for diagnosis, prevention and treatment. She
suffers from migraine as well, so she easily relates to
her patients’ needs. Kaelah likes to build rapport with
her patients, helping them feel safe, comfortable and
confident with her care. She encourages everyone to
take a few minutes everyday to reflect on things they’re
grateful for, creating a positive outlook to cultivate
happiness and success.
Kaelah and her husband have two young sons. A
native of Waynesville, OH, she is active in her church
community. She loves to read and recently started
making sourdough bread.
