Carla Fuentes Blanco, APRN

Carla Fuentes-Blanco is a board-certified gerontology nurse practitioner who has dedicated her career to helping older adults live fuller, healthier lives. She earned her nursing degree from Florida Atlantic University. Carla was inspired to become a nurse practitioner after realizing how the right provider can influence a patient’s life. Through her work in gerontology and telehealth, she saw firsthand how deeply patients benefit from a trusted advocate—someone who listens, explains, guides, and truly cares. She is committed to helping her patients feel seen, supported, and confident, whether they are navigating chronic conditions or striving to stay healthy and active as they age. Her philosophy of care centers on treating the whole person—not just the symptoms. Carla’s passion for preventive care plays a central role in her practice, guiding the way she partners with patients to stay ahead of potential issues. She focuses on early detection, patient education, and individualized planning. “I believe prevention is the foundation of good medicine, and I work closely with patients to address issues before they become problems,” she said. In her free time, she enjoys hitting the gym, discovering new restaurants, exploring nature, and spending meaningful time with her family.
