About Me

  • I am Dr. Christine Nganbou Kamkeu, DNP, AGNP, APRN-CNP, an Adult-Gerontology Nurse Practitioner specializing in both primary care and hospice. I am deeply committed to guiding patients and families through serious illness with compassion, clarity, and dignity. With over a decade of nursing experience across diverse care settings, including long-term care, acute care, primary care, and hospice, I bring a comprehensive and grounded perspective that bridges chronic disease management with end-of-life care.

    My journey in nursing is one of purpose, resilience, and steady progression. I began my career as a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), driven by a desire to care for others at the most fundamental level. From there, I advanced through each role—CMA, LPN, RN, BSN, MSN—gaining not only clinical knowledge but a deep respect for every layer of patient care. Becoming a doctoral-prepared nurse practitioner was not just an academic achievement; it was the continuation of a calling. Each step along the way has shaped how I see, hear, and care for patients, reminding me that behind every diagnosis is a human story that deserves to be honored.

    Throughout my career, I have developed a strong passion for caring for older adults, particularly those in underserved and rural communities. I understand the unique challenges these populations face, limited access to care, health literacy barriers, and the complexities of managing chronic illness. This has fueled my dedication not only to provide high-quality care, but also to educate, advocate, and empower both patients and their families.

    In my dual role in primary care and hospice, I have the privilege of supporting patients across the full continuum of health, from managing chronic conditions to providing comfort-focused care at the end of life. This continuity allows for meaningful relationships and care that aligns with each patient’s values, goals, and preferences. I believe that quality care extends beyond treatment, it requires listening, understanding, and honoring what matters most to each individual.

    As The Hospice NP, my mission extends beyond clinical practice. I am passionate about simplifying complex medical information and making it accessible to patients, families, and communities. Hospice and palliative care are often misunderstood, and I am committed to addressing these gaps through clear, evidence-based education delivered with compassion and integrity.

    Through education, clinical insight, and community outreach, I strive to create a space where patients and families feel informed, supported, and empowered to make decisions with confidence and peace, ensuring that no one navigates serious illness alone

A Passion for Life Beyond Care

Rooted in Faith, Family, Life and Purpose

Before anything else, I am a wife and a mother. Those roles are not titles I carry lightly, they are the foundation of who I am. In my home, I am not the provider with the answers. I am simply “mom,” navigating life alongside my children, learning, growing, and loving in real time. Raising seven children has shaped my heart in ways no degree ever could. It has taught me patience, sacrifice, resilience, and most importantly, the depth of unconditional love.

Our home is filled with life in its truest form. It is not perfect, but it is full, full of laughter, conversations around the table, lessons learned in everyday moments, and memories we are building together day by day. Some days are loud and busy, others are quiet and reflective, but each one is a reminder that time is precious and family is everything.

My faith is what grounds me through it all. It is my anchor in both joy and hardship. It is what gives me the strength to show up, not only for my family, but for the families I serve. In the most difficult moments, when words fall short and emotions run deep, my faith reminds me to lead with compassion, to extend grace, and to trust that even in life’s hardest seasons, there is still meaning and purpose.

I carry my personal experiences into my professional life in a way that is intentional and deeply human. I know what it feels like to sit at the bedside of someone you love, to question decisions, to hope for more time, and to wonder if you are doing enough. I understand the weight families carry, not from textbooks, but from life itself. That understanding shapes how I care, how I communicate, and how I support others through their own journeys.

Outside of my work, I find peace and joy in the simple things that keep me connected to life. Cooking meals that bring my family together, tending to my garden, sewing with care, and raising chickens in the quiet rhythm of country living, these are the moments that slow life down and remind me what truly matters. They are acts of love, of presence, and of gratitude.
Being originally from Jamaica, my roots run deep in community, culture, and connection. I was raised with a strong sense of togetherness, respect, and care for others, values that continue to shape both my personal life and my professional calling. I carry that warmth into every space I enter, believing that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.

This is why my work is more than a career, it is a calling. Supporting patients and families through serious illness and end-of-life care is sacred work. It requires more than clinical knowledge; it requires heart. It requires understanding the human experience beyond the diagnosis. It requires seeing the person, the family, and the story behind every situation.
Because at the end of the day, this is not just about healthcare. It is about people. It is about family. It is about love And everything I do, both in my home and in my work, is rooted in that truth.
