Stacie Urbanick, MSN, APRN, FNP-C
“My passion in caring for the elderly began over 20 years ago when I started working as a certified nursing assistant in long-term care. Throughout these years, I’ve been provided opportunities to serve aging adults through nursing administrative positions, all of which have helped me fully understand not only facility operations, but the importance of positive, provider partnerships between the facilities, residents, families, and caregivers. As a provider, I strive to leave a positive, lasting impression to ensure my patients feel heard, valued, and respected. I believe by understanding each unique life story and belief, I can assist them to choose the best plan of care that contributes to living their golden years with fulfillment and purpose. I look forward to being a consistent caregiver for the residents while in the comfort of their homes. I'm truly honored to be a part of their healthcare journey.” — Stacie Urbanick, MSN, APRN, FNP-C- Family Nurse Practitioner – Certified by American Academy of Nurse Practitioners

Jamie DiLorenzo, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC
“I find working with this population to be both challenging and rewarding. I feel getting to know a patient and seeing them in their home environment gives me a better picture of the patient’s overall health. This allows me to make more impactful decisions focused on quality care and improvement in quality of life. Taking my practice outside of the office and directly to the patient allows me to develop a stronger patient/family relationship and makes me a better, more effective, nurse practitioner.” —Jamie DiLorenzo, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC- Family Nurse Practictioner - Certified by American Nurses Credentialing Center

Jason Evers, D.O.
“My first real exposure to geriatric medicine was during my first year of medical school, when my grandmother was hospitalized in the ICU. I remember one of the things that left the biggest impact on me was the interactions my family and I had with the medical staff. In caring for loved ones, you have to understand where they come from to be effective; nothing comes close to this like seeing patients in their homes, and communicating with family members. I am looking forward to growing further as a physician and as a person through my work with the Bluestone family.” —Dr. Evers- Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, Suwanee, Georgia

Teresa Passalacqua, DNP, APRN
“I have been very blessed to find where I belong in life. I enjoy every encounter with my patients and feel I gain so much from each one of them. The geriatric population is one of the most rewarding areas to work as an ARNP. These patients are so grateful for any time given to them and the stories they share create such a bond between them and me.” —Teresa Passalacqua, DNP, APRN- Doctor of Nursing Practice
