Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner

An Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner (AGNP) is a highly trained advanced practice nurse who specializes in providing healthcare to adults, from young adults to seniors. They assess, diagnose, treat, and manage a wide range of health conditions, promoting overall wellness and disease prevention. AGNPs work independently or alongside physicians, often focusing on preventing illness and managing chronic diseases such as diabetes or hypertension. Their training combines nursing and medical knowledge, enabling them to deliver comprehensive, patient-centered care tailored to the needs of adult and older adult populations.
