Molly Hunter DNP, APRN, FNP-C

Molly was born and raised in Central Florida and has always had a passion for healthcare. She earned her undergraduate nursing degree and doctorate in Nursing at Palm Beach Atlantic University.

While earning her doctorate, she worked as a Charge Nurse on the Neurology & Cardiac Unit at a local hospital. And upon graduating, taught undergraduate nursing students at Palm Beach Atlantic University. Attending college in South Florida, Molly quickly fell in love with the beauty of our area and knew that this was where she wanted to live.

Working here at Palm Beach Progressive Medicine has ignited Molly’s interest in the importance of maintaining proper hormone health for both men and women, and the negative effect hormone deficiency has on longevity and quality of life. She says, “addressing my own personal hormone imbalance has changed my life for the better and showed me the positive impact it can have on others.”

Molly and her husband Kyle were married in 2016 and have one “furry child”, their dog Nala. They enjoy outdoor adventures, long days at the dog beach, and are also very active in their community church.

In the ever-changing world of modern medicine, Molly has never lost her lifelong love of learning. She is dedicated to each one of her patients and passionate about helping them to live an active, long, and healthy life. Needless to say, Molly is an integral part of what makes PBPM a recognized leader in the fields of Hormone Optimization and the Healthy Aging Sciences.
