Jaqueline Chacon
FNP, APRN
Compassionate healthcare begins with providers who are committed to serving others with experience, empathy, and a genuine passion for helping their community. Jacqueline is a Family Nurse Practitioner with more than two decades of experience caring for patients across a wide range of healthcare settings. She is dedicated to providing personalized, patient-centered care that helps individuals and families achieve lifelong health and wellness.
Born in Los Angeles, California, and raised in El Paso, Texas, Jacqueline comes from a family of healthcare professionals who inspired her passion for nursing from an early age. After earning her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) certification, she began caring for patients in long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals before pursuing her nursing degree at the University of Texas at El Paso.
Throughout her career, Jacqueline has gained extensive experience in medical-surgical nursing, telemetry, intensive care, renal care, and community health. While living in Nebraska as a military spouse, she cared for patients in the hospital setting before joining a University of Nebraska grant-funded program that focused on preventive medicine, wellness education, and health screenings for underserved and immigrant communities. Fluent in caring for diverse patient populations, she also provided education and healthcare services to Spanish-speaking women and children, helping improve access to preventive care.
After relocating to Hawaiʻi with her husband during his military service, Jacqueline continued her nursing career at Tripler Army Medical Center before joining the Spark M. Matsunaga VA Medical Center. Inspired to further expand her ability to care for patients, she earned her Master of Science in Nursing from Hawaiʻi Pacific University and became a Family Nurse Practitioner in 2010.
Since then, Jacqueline has devoted her career to family medicine, caring for patients across Oʻahu with a focus on prevention, education, and building lasting relationships. She believes that the best healthcare starts with listening and strives to create an environment where every patient feels heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their health.
Jacqueline and her husband, a retired United States military veteran, fell in love with Hawaiʻi during his final duty assignment and chose to make the islands their home. She has a deep appreciation for Hawaiʻi's culture, its people, and the spirit of aloha, and considers it a privilege to serve the community she and her family have embraced for more than two decades.
Jacqueline is committed to helping every patient feel supported throughout their healthcare journey by providing compassionate, evidence-based care with the same kindness and respect she would offer her own family.
Mission
Jacqueline's mission is to treat everyone with compassion and respect and to teach people about their bodies and how to care for it. She also aims to educate others on disease prevention and health promotion, as well as to educate those with chronic illness on how to best manage their disease to promote better quality of life.
