Dr. Kellyann Curnayn DNP, APRN is board certified in family practice, with a focus on public health. She is the sole owner and provider of a medical practice in Summerfield, FL, providing preventative and sick healthcare. Her Practice opened in 2021 amidst the COVID pandemic. She served the community by performing house calls, allowing in-clinic visits, and was a state recognized infusion center for monoclonal antibodies. Use of Regeneron, Sotrovimab and Bebtelovimab decreased the burden of emergency rooms and markedly improved the recovery of patients.
Obtaining her Doctorate of Nursing Practice from the University of Florida, her research focused primarily on how quality of care is defined, created, and evaluated. This research was presented at the 26th International Congress for Sigma Theta Tau; evaluating the cost and perceived outcomes of accreditation of FQHCs by The Joint Commission, and evaluating how macrosystem changes (accreditation) translate to microsystem outcomes (delivery of healthcare). She has long been an advocate for the frontline of nursing and has, apart from work and school, spent personal time and money blogging, writing, and researching health policy, determinants of health, and health care reform.
Her professional career as a registered nurse began at the bedside of Veterans, oncology patients, expectant mothers, ICU patients and their families (CCU, CVICU, MICU), as house supervisor of a 1400 bed facility, and now she serves as an Advanced Nurse Practitioner in her own practice. She enjoys all outdoor activities and can be found jogging, biking, canoeing, and hiking on any given weekend.
