Emelita Peper, NP

In Emelita’s opinion, a primary care provider’s role should always be looking at the whole person, physical and emotional, and addressing all body systems. The primary care provider focuses on preventive care and educating patients on healthy lifestyle choices, identifying and treating acute and chronic medical conditions, and providing referrals to specialists as the needs arise. She is a health care professional, a Nurse Practitioner. Prior to being an NP she was a Registered Nurse for 8 years, starting at a nursing rehab and then moving to a hospital setting. Being in healthcare brings a lot of mental and physical stress. She is a wife and mother of three children. In her spare time, she likes to play with her kids, walk in her neighborhood, dance, hula hoop, watch movies and garden. She reads books as well on the weekends.
