Fulgentia Smith, CRNP-PMH, MPH

Fulgentia is a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with several years of experience in the medical field, ranging from working in hospital acute care settings, to out-patient and long-term care settings. Her strong passion for helping the sick pushed her to pursue a graduate degree in public health; and subsequently into exploring the correlations between individual mental health challenges and broader health events such as the Coronavirus pandemic.

Fulgentia finds the added dimension of understanding the mind beyond assessing physical ailments alone, not only an interesting but necessary part of a holistic health approach. She finds that there is a great deal of need for mental health practitioners in our community. Additionally, Fulgentia is commuted to removing the stigma associated with seeking treatment. She would like to make mental health more accessible to more people and feels that Doxa’s platform helps to do exactly that.
