Eugene D Farrug, DNP - UNC Primary Care at Mebane

After being an inpatient nurse for four years, I wanted to provide healthcare more independently. I worked in critical care and often saw patients with end-stage chronic disease. I became a nurse practitioner because I want to make a difference in my patients health, hopefully reducing hospital stays and improving quality of life. The key is forming a partnership with the patient. I believe patients must first understand the benefit of taking better care of themselves. My role is to provide the necessary education, resources and motivation so that patients and families can be successful in reaching their health goals. When I am not working, I enjoy listening to music, animals, baking, swimming, kayaking and watching my son play soccer.

After working 29 years as a nurse, most recently in the Emergency Department, I chose to pursue a career as a Family Nurse Practitioner. I wanted to become more vested in the care and treatment of those that I served in the community. I can now further support my patients, and as part of a care team, I can deliver personalized, holistic care to each patient. I believe that the best way to provide high-quality patient care is to acknowledge each patient's individuality and meet them on their level. Care should be patient-focused with the patient at the center of decision-making. Health, wellness and illness should be viewed through the lens of the patient as a whole. Patient care should be holistic and compassionate with an emphasis on educating the patient while building a strong therapeutic relationship built on trust and best evidenced-based practice. I enjoy all aspects of family medicine but have a special love for pediatric patients. In my spare time, I enjoy reading a good book, cuddling with my dog, spending time with my grandchildren and exploring national parks with my husband.
