Wound Care Providers

Our Providers

At NIVA Health, our clinical team is made up of highly experienced, credentialed Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, and Wound Care Specialists who bring compassionate, evidence-based care directly to the bedside. Together, they represent decades of combined experience in advanced wound care, home health, hospital medicine, geriatrics, trauma, and surgical recovery.

Our providers hold advanced degrees (DNPs, APRNs, FNP-Cs, PA-Cs) and certifications in wound care, geriatrics, podiatric medicine, and vascular management. They come from diverse clinical backgrounds — including ICU, progressive care, emergency medicine, behavioral health, and long-term care — and share a deep commitment to improving healing outcomes and reducing hospitalizations through patient-centered care.

Our providers are more than clinicians — they are advocates, educators, and trusted partners to patients, families, and facility staff. Whether in a skilled nursing facility, assisted living environment, or a patient’s home, they deliver hospital-grade wound care with empathy, precision, and professionalism.
