Joelle Fathi DNP, RN, ARNP, CTTS

I have enjoyed an incredible career of acute and primary care, as a nurse and nurse practitioner. The addition of the DNP to my training as a clinician has led me down a path of transformational leadership with the skill and confidence to lead the design and development of quality healthcare delivery systems. I enjoy the balance of seeing patients, contributing to the delivery of quality healthcare on a higher level, and educating our future nurses.
