Jazmine Spencer, MSN, FNP-C
Family Nurse Practitioner
“I grew up in the population that HPC serves; all I’ve ever wanted to do is to give back to that population as a provider.”
As the oldest of eight siblings born in a 14-year span, Jazmine Spencer has had a lifetime of caregiving. She now couples that with 10 years of professional training and hands-on experience to provide a full continuum of patient care to the Health Partnership Clinic community.
Jazmine’s interest in a healthcare career began as a sixth-grade student watching a care team provide for her grandfather following his ALS diagnosis. Fascinated by how the human body functions and can often self-repair—and having a heart for caregiving herself—she set her sights on the medical field.
After earning a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, Jazmine served as a Registered Nurse at local medical centers, and later as a Nurse Practitioner following completion of her Master of Science in Nursing.
Having worked Pediatrics at Swope Health in Kansas City, Mo., Jazmine developed a twin passion for community health and younger patients like those she often saw there. “Besides providing care and access to patients who would not otherwise have it, I focus day-to-day on educating the teenage population about sexual and reproductive health, self-esteem and hygiene, hoping that patients are receptive to these messages coming from someone outside their home,” Jazmine says.
Away from her patient responsibilities, Jazmine tends to her own family including a husband, three children and a puppy. As time allows, she reads as a member of a book club.
To complete her “family healthcare circle” that began with her siblings and grandfather, Jazmine now works with her aunt, Eva Clark, MSN, APRN, WHNP-BC, an HPC Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner. While she serves patients of all ages, she will initially focus her care at our Shawnee Mission Clinic, which specializes in pediatric patients.
