 “Elsie is a great addition to our staff,” said Quinn.  “With more than 19 years of medical experience, she is terrific with our patients.  They love her and many call her ‘their angel.’ Her commitment to their needs is admirable.”

Remy was most recently an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner at Resolution Medical Services, Inc. in West Palm Beach.  She has extensive experience in intensive care, acute and primary care units.  Remy received her BSN from Long Island University in Brooklyn, NY, Master of Science in Adult Health Nursing and Post Masters in Family Practice at Stony Brook University in Stony Brook NY.  She is nationally Board certified.
