NAPLES — Jennifer Sullivan, a family nurse practitioner, has been appointed to the Central Maine Medical Group associate professional staff. She is working in partnership with Maureen Harpell, F.N.P., at Naples Family Practice in Naples.

Sullivan’s experience includes four years in the emergency department at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center. She is certified in trauma, advanced cardiac life support, pediatric life support and gerontological nursing. She is a member of the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners and the Maine Nurse Practitioners Association.

One of her first projects at Naples will be to improve outcomes for patients with diabetes and high blood pressure. Naples is one of five practices chosen by Maine Quality Counts to take part in an experimental learning collaborative aimed at these chronic illnesses. Sullivan will work closely with practice coordinator Amy Dugas on the project, funded by the federal Centers for Disease Control.

Her community service has included a term on the state’s Committee on Media and the Courts, to which she was appointed by the Maine Supreme Judicial Court. As a volunteer nurse, she has vaccinated hundreds of children in Lewiston schools. She is a former journalist and has a bachelor’s degree in journalism and Russian language from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.
