We are so grateful for all of our Advanced Practice Providers at Charlotte Hungerford!

Have you seen a PA or an APRN?

Then you've seen an APP – an Advanced Practice Provider. APPs are highly trained medical professionals who have advanced degrees and clinical training that allow them to diagnose, treat and prescribe, just like physicians.

They are especially vital in filling care gaps, improving access, and supporting team-based care modes. At Hartford HealthCare, APPs care for thousands of patients every year.

Join us in celebrating APPs this week. Drop a 'Thank You' below!
