Meet Our Providers
APHCV's team of health
care providers are composed of physicians and nurse practitioners.
Nurse
practitioners are registered nurses (RNs) who have received
advanced training in various health care
specialties, including child health, family practice,
and elder health. Nurse practitioners provide
health services independently and in collaboration with
other health care providers, such as
physicians. Our Nurse Practitioners have access to and
consult with physicians at APHCV
throughout the day.
Due to quality of care, APHCV's providers have achieved
an extremely low rate of hospitalization
of relatively sick patients. The quality and low cost
of care are chief reasons why patients continue to
come and refer their friends and relatives to APHCV.
