Chunping Huang is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) by American Nurses Credentialing Center. She has a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from DePaul University. After working 15 years as a registered nurse, most recently in the Emergency Department and Medical-Surgical Unit, she chose to pursue a career as an FNP. As an FNP, she has been trained to treat the whole family, from infancy to the elderly. That means she can assess, diagnose, and treat the majority of conditions that are present to the clinic. She also knows that patients with complex conditions sometimes need to see a physician or a specialist.
Chunping believes that the best way to provide high-quality patient care is to acknowledge each patient’s individuality and meet them on their level. Care should be patient-focused with the patient at the center of decision-making. Health, wellness, and illness should be viewed through the lens of the patient as a whole. Patient care should be holistic and compassionate with an emphasis on educating the patient while building a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and best evidenced-based practice. Chunping’s research focuses on venous thrombus embolism in community, and nursing administration, especially on structural empowerment. Chunping is married with two children and enjoys spending quality time with her family.
