Black Excellence in Healthcare: White Coats & Real Talk Podcast
Episode #8: Power, Purpose, & Policy: A Doctoral NP’s Rise to Leadership & Legacy
Join host Dr. Angel White as she sits down with Dr. April J. Odom, DNP, FNP, APRN-FPA, a nationally recognized nurse practitioner, entrepreneur, and leadership mentor who is redefining what’s possible in healthcare. As the first Black president of the Illinois Society for Advanced Practice Nursing (ISAPN), she is a fierce advocate for APRNs and a champion for visibility, equity, and leadership in the profession. Dr. Odom is the founder and CEO of Physicals Plus, a comprehensive health and wellness clinic. Through her work, she empowers NPs to own their expertise, lead boldly, and build sustainable practices that center both impact and income. Whether she’s behind the podium, mentoring the next generation, or breaking barriers in healthcare, Dr. Odom is driven by one mission: to ignite leadership in others and create spaces where nurses don't just participate but lead.
