About Me
Sarah Kai Acker, ANP-BC, AAHIV-S graduated from Yale School of Nursing with a Master’s of Science in Nursing in 2014 and has since dedicated her career to serving marginalized communities that have been historically underserved. She spent the first five years of her career working in community health in East New York and Downtown Brooklyn, providing comprehensive HIV, gender-affirming, and primary care to a diverse population of adults struggling with multiple comorbidities of HCV, substance abuse, and mental health disorders.
In 2019, she joined Mount Sinai’s Institute of Advanced Medicine in Chelsea. Ms. Acker focuses her practice on HIV prevention, including Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), sexually transmitted infection treatment, prevention, and diagnosis. She also provides gender-affirming care for pre-established clients. She still maintains a small panel of adults living with HIV for which she provides comprehensive care but is not accepting new HIV+ clients at this time. Ms. Acker believes in a collaborative approach to patient care as she finds patients achieve the best results if they are part of the decision-making process when it comes to their health goals.
