Jessica Harpell, PA-C

Physician Assistant
25 Hospital Ctr Blvd, Ste 105, Hilton Head, SC
From a young age, I had a strong interest in science and a deep desire to help others. My passion for medicine began in high school when I took an anatomy and physiology class; I was instantly hooked on learning how the human body works. In high school a soccer injury to my shoulder required surgery. A physician assistant I met during that time provided excellent care while also encouraging me to explore the medical field. I set out to learn all I could and get all the experience I could. Working as an EMT during college provided valuable clinical background while also reassuring me I was on the right path. Family medicine is a good fit for me, as it allows me to care for patients of all ages - from babies through seniors. With all my patients, I place a strong emphasis on prevention and long-term wellness. I take a patient-centered approach and treat each individual as a whole person - not just a set of symptoms. I ask thoughtful, pointed questions and then listen closely to the answers, which I believe improves both my ability to make a diagnosis as well as the entire care experience. I liken the patient/provider relationship to a car ride. The patient is in the driver's seat, and I'm helping to navigate from the passenger seat. I guide and educate, but ultimately the patient makes the decisions. I'm a strong advocate for lifestyle modifications whenever possible and believe, in most cases, they should be tried as a first step before turning to medications. Originally from Waterford, Connecticut, I now enjoy calling South Carolina home. In my free time, I love being outdoors and take every opportunity to hike, cycle, golf, sail or walk - preferably on a beach. I also enjoy reading, spending time with friends and family and being involved at my church. These activities help me stay balanced, energized, and able to bring my best self to my patients each day.
