Founder & CEO of C3 Cares
Board-Certified Family Nurse Practitioner in Washington, D.C
Dr. Erin Athey is a board-certified family nurse practitioner who has spent nearly two decades working on the east side of Washington, D.C., as a clinician, educator, and community-engaged scholar to improve health outcomes for those who are under-resourced and disenfranchised.
Dr. Athey’s experiences as a clinician have led her to develop several innovative, community-based initiatives that focus on improving health literacy and bringing healthcare into these communities. The programs she developed include award-winning mental health literacy programs for adults and youth. In addition, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she pioneered a mobile health program that provided COVID-19 testing and vaccinations as well other clinical services, and health education throughout Wards 5, 6, 7 and 8.
These experiences, combined with her desire to improve access to care in the communities for whom she has dedicated her career, inspired her to create C3 Cares.
