Cristy O'Connell
Owner & Family Nurse Practitioner
As the owner of Virtual Care and a Family Nurse Practitioner, Cristy is committed to patient care and advocacy. Cristy has been a family nurse practitioner for over a decade and has a well rounded background to include emergency medicine, urgent care, primary care, family practice, pediatrics and telemedicine. She is board certified with the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners, as well as member of the organization. She is currently a primary care provider (PCP) who has owned medical clinics over the last several years in different states.
Prior to opening these two businesses, she was the CEO of another primary and urgent care. She has a passion for teaching and education, which is why she taught clinical rotations for both RN and FNP students in the past.
In her free time, she enjoys riding her pink moped and going on her stand up scooter through nearby neighborhood parks; as well as spending time with her husband and three dogs: Xena, a white Pitbull and two Rottweilers Ares and Zara. Cristy also thinks it is important to stay healthy and active, so exercising is a part of her everyday life.
