Tammy Hampton
Tammy Hampton is a seasoned healthcare professional, Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), and the President and Founder of Hampton Health Care Services, Inc., a home and community-based healthcare provider service network in South Florida. With more than 35 years of experience in the medical field, she has built a career grounded in compassionate, patient-centered care and operational leadership. Her organization reflects her commitment to delivering excellence in customer service and high-quality patient care, providing both skilled and non-skilled services to individuals across all stages of life—from infants to the elderly—in the comfort of their homes and community settings.
Hampton’s healthcare journey began in 1988 at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center, where she spent a decade as a unit secretary, gaining firsthand exposure to high-acuity trauma, pediatric, and critical care environments. She later transitioned into nursing, completing her Practical Nursing training at Sheridan Vocational Technical Center, where she distinguished herself as a top student. Since becoming licensed in 2002, she has worked across diverse care settings, including hospice, dialysis, skilled nursing facilities, and complex home health cases involving ventilator-dependent patients, wound care, IV therapy, and chronic disease management.
In 2016, Hampton founded Hampton Health Care Services, Inc. to address gaps in continuity of care and the growing nursing shortage. Her vision centers on a collaborative group-practice model that empowers independent healthcare providers while improving patient outcomes through coordinated, home-based care. Guided by values of safety, compassion, and service, she continues to expand a flexible, team-based approach that supports both patients and providers, with the long-term goal of scaling this innovative model beyond Florida.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to my hands-on experience across critical care, trauma, and home health, combined with a genuine passion for nursing and patient care.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
My advice to young women entering nursing is to pursue it with genuine passion, not just for financial gain. It’s a constantly evolving field, so you must be adaptable and committed to patient safety and quality care.
Just as importantly, find your voice and take ownership of your career. Seek supportive environments where you are heard, valued, and given the flexibility to grow, lead, and make a meaningful impact.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
A major challenge is the ongoing nursing shortage, along with rapid changes in clinical and administrative practices.
At the same time, there’s a strong opportunity to expand cooperative, group-practice models that empower independent providers and improve home-based care delivery.
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values most important to me in both my work and personal life are patient safety, family satisfaction, nurse autonomy, flexibility, and a strong commitment to service, including my involvement in faith and church.
