Andrea Croom, MSN, AGNP-C
Andrea is a board-certified Adult/Geriatric Primary Care Nurse Practitioner by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She has a Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
After a decade of working as a nurse, primarily in critical care settings, she chose to pursue a career as a Nurse Practitioner. Andrea prides herself in delivering personalized, holistic care to each patient. Andrea believes that the best way to provide high-quality patient care is to acknowledge each patient’s individuality and meet them at the point of their need. 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. Andrea enjoys all aspects of family medicine but she has a special love for geriatric patients. NC Elder Care is lucky to have Andrea returning to provide care for its residents.
