Elizabeth Hoover Joins Kura Health's Primary Care Team

Kura Health is growing its primary care team. We are pleased to welcome Elizabeth Hoover, ANP-BC, a board-certified Adult Nurse Practitioner who is now accepting new patients at Kura Health.

Elizabeth joins Tanvir Shagar, FNP-BC, the practice's founder and a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. With two experienced nurse practitioners available, Kura Health is expanding primary care appointment capacity for patients in Lackawanna, Buffalo, and surrounding Western New York communities.

Experience in Adult and Older-Adult Primary Care

Elizabeth brings more than a decade of experience as an Adult Nurse Practitioner. Her clinical background spans adult primary care, preventive services, complex chronic disease management, long-term care, subacute rehabilitation, home-based health assessments, and outpatient neurology.

She has cared for adults with multiple ongoing medical conditions and worked alongside interdisciplinary teams to support medication safety, continuity of care, and clinical follow-up. That experience is especially relevant for patients who need more than an isolated visit to manage their health.

At Kura Health, Elizabeth provides adult primary care services including annual and preventive visits, evaluation of common non-emergency illnesses, chronic condition management, medication review, clinically appropriate weight management support, and coordination of additional care when needed.

Expanding Primary Care Capacity in Lackawanna

Adding Elizabeth to the clinical team increases Kura Health's ability to welcome new patients and provide ongoing, relationship-based primary care. Patients can now choose between two board-certified nurse practitioners based on their preferences and appointment availability.

The practice focuses on prevention, practical management of chronic conditions, clear communication, appropriate testing, and referrals to physicians, specialists, urgent care, or emergency services when clinically indicated.

Recognition Under New York's Medicaid 1115 Workforce Initiatives

Kura Health is listed in the New York State Department of Health's official directory of approved service commitment sites for the Medicaid 1115 waiver workforce initiatives.
