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.
