Get to know Nurse Practitioner, Jacqueline Gordon Hopwood, who serves patients in Florida.

Jacqueline is a nurse practitioner who graduated with her Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Quinnipiac University in 2022.

That same year, she started working in the healthcare sector as the Medical Director of Family Health Source. She interacts directly with team members and staff to ensure that they provide quality care, understand physician instructions, and have access to the services needed to maintain optimal health. 

The mission of Family Health Source is to provide quality primary healthcare services accessible to everyone in the communities by promoting individual health wellness through services, resources, and education. It is proud to provide quality care for patients regardless of age, race, nationality, income, employment or health insurance status. Healthcare services are never denied based upon inability to pay.

Holding an active license to practice, Jacqueline is certified through the Florida Department of Health.

Taking an all-encompassing role in supporting a patient’s wellbeing and providing professional growth, she is an active member of the American Nurses Association (ANA). The ANA is a 501(c)(6) professional organization to advance and protect the profession of nursing. 

A Nurse Practitioner (NP) is an advanced practice registered nurse and a type of mid-level practitioner. NPs are trained to assess patient needs, order and interpret diagnostic and laboratory tests, diagnose disease, formulate and prescribe medications and treatment plans. NP training covers basic disease prevention, coordination of care, and health promotion, but does not provide the depth of expertise needed to recognize more complex conditions.

Outside of practicing medicine, Jacqueline enjoys fishing and hiking. Her favorite place to vacation is in the Caribbean.
