Michelle A. Stalworth, FNP-C

I chose to become an advanced practice clinician to build on my experience in critical care nursing and expand my role in patient care. My background at the bedside shaped how I approach medicine today. I was drawn to cardiology because the cardiovascular system affects nearly every other part of the body, allowing for a comprehensive, whole-person approach to care.
I am passionate about helping patients understand their health and care plans so they feel informed and confident in their decisions. During times of illness, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, and I strive to make each visit clear, supportive and collaborative. Building trust and staying current with best practices are central to how I care for patients.
I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based care and guiding patients throughout their treatment journey. Whether managing chronic conditions or navigating acute events, my goal is to ensure my patients feel heard, supported and confident in their care.
I …grew up in a military family and had the opportunity to experience many cultures and perspectives. Those experiences shaped my appreciation for diversity and my commitment to creating a safe, welcoming environment for every patient.
