Meet Adam Smith, APRN.
Adam’s calling to healthcare wasn’t shaped by corporate systems or red tape, it started in a small town, much like Milton, where people take care of their own.
Adam earned his BSN from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2009 and his MSN in 2011. He’s been AANP-certified since 2012 and has spent more than 13 years practicing as a Nurse Practitioner across rural clinics, emergency rooms, house calls, retail health, and even correctional medicine.
Along the way, he saw the same problem everywhere: conventional healthcare focuses on numbers, not people. Patients feel rushed. Providers feel burned out. Outcomes suffer. Nobody wins.
Blackwater Health was born from a better vision: patient-focused care that brings medicine back to what it should be: time, trust, and real relationships.
Today, Adam is proud to bring that experience home to Milton and serve the community he understands so well.
When he’s not caring for patients, Adam is on the water with his wife Brandy, their son, their daughter, and their three dogs, soaking up the same small-town life that shaped his calling in the first place. ❤️
