Meet Your Provider: Cami Cowart, MSN, APRN, FNP-C

A lifelong member of our community and proud Santa Fe High School graduate, Cami brings 27 years of nursing experience to our practice.

Her healthcare journey began at Florida Gateway College, where she earned her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification in 1995, her Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) in 1998, and her Registered Nurse (RN) in 2003. She later advanced her education at Chamberlain University, earning her Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) in 2019 and her Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) in 2021. Cami is board certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner through the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners.

While working toward her RN, Cami gained valuable experience in a nursing home setting, providing compassionate care to long-term and rehabilitation patients. For most of her career, she has served in medical office settings, caring for patients 18 and older with a focus on personalized, patient-centered healthcare. She also has specialized experience in transitional care management, helping patients successfully move from hospital to home, and in 2022 she expanded her expertise by earning her Hormone Pellet Therapy Certification.

Outside of work, Cami is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Stacy, as they celebrate nearly 33 years together. They are proud parents of two daughters, Samantha and Calyssa. In her free time, Cami enjoys cheering on the Florida Gators, making magical memories at Disney World, and spending quality time with family and friends.

With her strong hometown roots, dedication to patient care, and genuine passion for this community, Cami is excited to be serving in the place she has always called home.

This weekend is a bittersweet one for us at Stankus Family Care.
We’re saying goodbye to two incredible team members, Lianny and Daniela, as they continue their journeys on the path to becoming medical providers.

They’ve been part of our family since last year, and their dedication, compassion, and hard work have left a lasting impact on our patients and staff alike.

Whoever has the privilege of working with them next is truly lucky — and their future patients even more so.

We’ll miss you both dearly, but we couldn’t be prouder. 💙
Wishing you all the success on your Pre-Med journey!

Thank you, Lianny and Daniela! 🩺✨
