CANANDAIGUA – Christina D’Agostino was recently named UR Medicine Thompson Health’s Director of Advanced Practice Providers (APPs).
A Canandaigua resident, D’Agostino is a family nurse practitioner. She is currently with UR Medicine’s Division of Nephrology and is based mostly at F.F. Thompson Hospital in Canandaigua.
Previously, she worked as a nurse practitioner in UR Medicine’s Division of Vascular Surgery, also predominately at Thompson, where she developed and organized the UR Heart and Vascular Teaching Day, helped bring endovascular aortic aneurysm repair to the hospital, and also helped introduce the Vascular Quality Initiative. She is a member of Thompson’s Quality and Safety Committee.
In her new role, D’Agostino will continue as a nurse practitioner in nephrology at Thompson while overseeing advanced practice providers – primarily nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and certified nurse midwives – in the hospital, urgent care locations, and primary care practices.
Thompson currently has approximately 80 APPs; Vice President of Patient Care Services/Chief Nursing Officer Hazel Robertshaw said D’Agostino’s new position was created to reflect the increasingly important role APPs play within the health system.
D’Agostino is currently enrolled in the Doctor of Nursing Practice Fellowship Program at the University of Rochester School of Nursing. She received her associate’s in nursing from Monroe Community College and her bachelor’s in nursing from Keuka College. She obtained her master’s in advanced practice nursing from St. John Fisher College in 2012 and was named the Student of the Year by the Nurse Practitioner Association of New York State.
