Much of healthcare has become as individualized as slapping a metaphorical bandage on a gaping wound. Prevention is no longer a priority and is pushed into the background in favor of costly and sometimes even risky treatment.
What would happen to our nation if all Americans learned how to optimize their health and environment? I believe there is power behind prevention, and that prevention is the key to a happy and healthier America. That is why I started Sophelina Health and Mobile IV Infusion Therapy.
Medical care should not feel like something over which you have no control. At Sophelina Health we combine our experience, passion, and boldness with Mobile IV Infusion Therapy and Telemedicine to include YOU in your care.
-Staci Kay, AGACNP-BC, MSN
After I obtained my BSN from UNCG, I graduated from East Carolina with an MSN, and received my postgraduate at the University of South Carolina.
As an RN I have experience in ICU, CCU, ED, Case Management, Telehealth Triage, and Home Infusion. As a NP I have experience in Neuro ICU, Med/Oncology ICU, MICU, and Outpatient Covid-19 Care.
As a Nurse Practitioner trained in acute care, I have the following goals for my patients:
My passion for these areas developed while working in the ICU. After treating countless critically ill patients and comforting their families, I was determined to find a better way. I loved doing my part to help them through an extremely difficult time. However, I secretly wished to have met them outside the walls of an ICU and in better circumstances, where I could have more time to spend one on one with them, treat them holistically and fairly, and help them achieve the health that they wanted and needed.
Through this passion, a vision was born to provide Mobile IV Infusion Therapies to Forsyth County, and surrounding areas. Our Registered Nurses will meet you right where life happens, in your home, office, or at an event. We come to you because we understand that convenience is important to you.

Let’s be honest. Free access to the full spectrum of choices and information available to you has been limited. Because of this, there is naturally a lot of unnecessary confusion around this virus and its treatments.
I want you to be educated on every option available to you, that way you can make the best-informed decision for you and your health. After all, you deserve to reach a healthy standard and lead a fulfilling life far away from hospitals.
Protocols from the Front Line Covid-19 Critical Care Alliance (FLCCC) provide the baseline guide that I use for these types of issues.
Western medicine has done a disservice to patients by unintentionally withholding key education on how to avoid hospitalization or surgery in the first place. My intention is to always be transparent and upfront about all the preventative steps you can take.
Partner with myself or one of our amazing Registered Nurses and let us keep you smiling, laughing, and excited for what the future holds!
Are you ready to finally own your health through prevention?
People deserve better. People deserve to have their doctor give them the time and attention they need. They deserve to be able to reach out to their doctor, and have their doctor respond. They deserve to ask to be seen and get seen in a timely manner.

Why I Joined Sophelina Health
I started a direct primary care and cardiology practice in order to do what I love to do: take care of people. By getting rid of the administrators, bureaucrats, and insurance companies, I can focus on what matters: being accessible to my patients, and delivering good, compassionate care to the person in front of me.
While working for corporate medicine provides tremendous job security, at the end of the day the entire structure is built for the benefit of the corporation, not the patient. Patients become “billable codes” and “market shares”. Each patient visit in clinic is reduced to a “time slot” and is shortened to the minimum length acceptable to Medicare. In the end, the doctor is limited to attempting to sort out the most pressing issue in the time available, rather than truly caring for the patient. There is no time to really get to know the patient, to learn the individual, and therefore there is no time to deliver the best care tailored to the unique person in front of you.
That same corporate structure sets up barriers, rather than access. Want to see your doctor in the current structure? The next available visit is in two months. Want to contact your doctor with a question? You can call the office, leave a message, have someone call you back later, leave another message, have the nurse call you back later, and that’s about it.
People deserve better. People deserve to have their doctor give them the time and attention they need. They deserve to be able to reach out to their doctor, and have their doctor respond. They deserve to ask to be seen and get seen in a timely manner.
The current medical system is failing to provide good care, because of the limits imposed by insurance companies and health care corporations. Good providers have their hands tied. The amount of time and attention they can focus on each person under their care is determined by health care administrators and insurance agency operatives who have never once cared for a patient. Now, we see that even what doctors can prescribe and do for their patients is determined not by their own judgement, but by those same administrators and operatives.
You Deserve to Have Your Doctor Give You the Time and Attention You Need.
