An NP (Nurse Practitioner) is your partner in health providing high-quality primary, acute and specialty healthcare services similar to those of a physician. NPs have graduate, advanced education (most have Master's degrees and many have Doctorates) and advanced clinical training beyond their initial registered nurse preparation. They bring a unique perspective to health services in that they place emphasis on both care and cure. Along with clinical services, NPs focus on health promotion, disease prevention, and health education and counseling, guiding patients to make smarter health and lifestyle choices.
