K. Hardin, APRN FNP-C

Kelli is an experienced Family Nurse Practitioner trained in both primary and urgent care. Kelli believes firmly in the importance of empowering individuals to be active participants in their own healthcare. She feels that it’s incredibly important to recognize each patient that enters the clinic as a whole person with unique biopsychosocial factors that impact their health and their engagement with medical care. She has always found that getting to know patients in a holistic, real way is far superior to the often-cold clinical environment that many encounter when they seek healthcare. Because of this, she is truly delighted to have joined Bianco Primary Care in 2022. The structure of the clinic enables more time to connect with patients and come alongside them as a partner in their unique health journey. The DPC model also allows ample opportunities for health education and empowerment, which can have lasting impacts on an individual’s health.

Kelli received her Masters of Science in Nursing, Family Nurse Practitioner, from the University of Alabama – Birmingham. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Kennesaw State University. Prior to joining Bianco Primary Care, she worked in a variety of healthcare roles including Emergency Room Nurse, Concierge Nurse, NP in a free rural health clinic, and as an Urgent Care Nurse Practitioner.

In her free time, Kelli enjoys beekeeping, photography, hiking, travel, and spending time with her husband Scott.
