Our Nurse Practitioners
Nurse Practitioners (NPs) are regulated healthcare professionals who have additional graduate-level education, training, and licensing in order to work independently. NPs are authorized to independently diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and perform medical procedures. The role of an NP is to provide high-quality accessible healthcare services to patients with a focus on health promotion, disease prevention, and patient education.
