Carolina Jones, APRN, FNP-C

Family Nurse Practitioner

“My heart is for my patients, whether it’s celebrating their triumphs or walking with them through challenges. At Vital, I have the privilege of treating illness while also caring for the whole person.”

Carolina Jones is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 15 years of experience in healthcare. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Master of Science in Nursing Practice from the University of South Florida and earned her Bachelor of Science in Nursing with highest honors from Jacksonville University. Her clinical background includes orthopedic and emergency medicine before transitioning into primary care, where she could build deeper patient relationships.

Carolina is certified in Obesity Medicine through the Obesity Medicine Association and has created a sustainable weight-loss program inspired by her own 100-pound weight-loss journey. As a busy mom of three, she understands the challenges patients face and is passionate about helping them succeed.

Her dedication to women’s health led her to become a Certified SottoPelle® Provider, offering BHRT to help women in peri- and post-menopause restore balance, energy, and vitality.

Of Colombian descent, Carolina is proudly bilingual in English and Spanish and has a strong passion for serving the Latino/Hispanic community. Her heart for medical missions has taken her to Guatemala, where she has provided care for underserved populations. Above all, she values building partnerships with patients and putting their health first.

Dr. Kenneth Argote, APRN, FNP-C

Family Nurse Practitioner

“I grew tired of the traditional model of primary care. Patients deserve excellent, affordable care—delivered when they need it, not weeks later.”

Dr. Kenneth Argote is a board-certified, doctorally prepared Family Nurse Practitioner with more than 12 years of experience. He began his career at the University of South Florida, earning his Bachelor of Science in Nursing with honors before working in the Emergency Department and cardiac unit. His time caring for acutely ill patients sparked a realization: many hospitalizations could have been prevented with better primary care.

Motivated by this vision, he returned to USF to complete his Master of Science in Nursing with a focus on Family Primary Care in 2014, followed by his Doctor of Nursing Practice degree in 2019. Over the years, Dr. Argote has provided preventive, acute, and chronic care for patients of all ages while growing increasingly frustrated with how traditional insurance models limit patient outcomes.

In 2021, he founded Vital Advanced Medical Center to create a better way forward through Direct Primary Care—removing barriers, putting patients first, and providing care that is both high-quality and affordable. Today, he continues to lead the practice with a focus on whole-person health and long-term relationships.
