Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner

At FNU, we exemplify the caring behaviors we hope to bring to the wider healthcare system.

A Women's Health Care Nurse Practitioner (WHCNP) is an advanced practice nurse that specializes in continuing and comprehensive health care for women throughout their lives. WHCNPs provide well-woman care, reproductive and gynecological care, and prenatal and postpartum care. Additionally, WHCNPs focus on health promotion, disease prevention, health education, and helping patients make smart lifestyle choices.
