Jessica Chung DNP, NP-C

Dr. Jessica Chung is the founder of J.C. Healthcare & Associates, a primary care clinic based in Tampa, FL. She was born in the great state of New York. She grew up in the city of Queens and spent many of her summers and holidays traveling and seeing patients with her grandmother, who was a home care RN. Her dedication and work ethic would ultimately become Jessica’s cause for inspiration and career aspirations. Determined to follow in her grandmother’s footsteps, Jessica attended NYC College of Technology and received her Associate's Degree in Nursing in 2009, and graduated on the Dean’s List for academic excellence.

After graduation, she went on to work as a charge nurse for a nursing home and a Nurse Case Manager for a home care agency, both in Brooklyn, New York. She received an opportunity to relocate to the sunny state of Florida in 2010, to work at an acute care hospital. The year following, she obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Nursing from Utica College.

Jessica worked at various city hospitals, gaining experience as a registered nurse in various clinical areas such as medical pre and post-operative, emergency, and post-partum care. Wanting to further her education more, she obtained a Master's Degree in nursing from South University with a concentration in Family Nurse practitioners and was board certified by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners. She practiced as an FNP in primary, adult, pediatric and geriatric care.

In 2018, she received her Doctoral degree in Nursing Practice, from Samford University. While there, she focused her research on patient education and medication adherence and developed an adherence therapy tool that can be used in various clinical settings to assess the risk of medication non-adherence and methods to improve medication adherence, to patient-provider collaboration and education. In 2019, one of Dr. Chung's dreams came true when she opened her own private practice, J.C. Healthcare & Associates in Tampa, FL. She provides a wide variety of healthcare services to patients of all ages.

Due to her vast knowledge of healthcare business start-ups and private practice management, in 2020, Dr. Chung launched the International Business Association for Nurses where she helps nursing professionals and other healthcare professionals become entrepreneurs. She is an educator of students, a researcher, a prolific speaker, a healthcare provider, a business owner, and one that has a heart and passion for mentoring students of all academic levels, in hopes of them obtaining higher education and professional success.
