Dr. Angela Okotie-Eboh, DNP, APRN

Angela Okotie-Eboh (affectionally known as Dr. Angela) was born in Edo State, Nigeria. She was educated and received a bachelor’s degree in banking and finance from the University of Benin. In 1992, she immigrated to the United States to join her husband Goodluck Okotie-Eboh in Houston, Texas. Dr. Angela decided to change her career focus from banking and finance to nursing. She entered junior college to pursue her perquisites with hopes of attending nursing school. After completion, Dr. Angela’s hopes were realized when she received her bachelor’s and master’s degrees from the University of Texas School of Nursing–Houston campus. She then went on to receive her Doctor of Nursing from Rush University in Chicago, Illinois. She is currently certified as an adult medicine and psychiatric and mental health nurse practitioner.

Dr. Angela has over 23 years of experience in providing evidence-based, high-quality patient care to diverse populations. She is experienced in treating and managing care for the chronically mentally ill population. Further, she is highly skilled at developing, implementing, and evaluating patient-centered care plans that support individualized patient care needs.

In 2004, Dr. Angela founded Heart and Health Ministries International. The vision for this ministry was birthed after her childhood friend died needlessly in her home country of Nigeria because of very sub-standard medical care. Heart and Health International has sponsored and taken part in over 26 mission trips to Nigeria, Africa, and Pampanga, Philippines, serving over 5,000 people each trip.

In 2005, Dr. Angela established NP Care Services Group, Inc., one of the first nurse practitioner multi-specialty group practices in the Houston area. The practice care is focused on treating the chronically mentally ill population utilizing evidence-based treatment models. NP Care Services Group, Inc. provides comprehensive service to over 4,500 patients yearly. Because of its proven track record, the company was selected to partner with a major managed care organization for a newly enhanced approach to follow-up care for patients discharged from psychiatric hospitals.

Dr. Angela is a member of the Molina Managed Care East Region Provider Quality Workgroup, National Nurse Practitioner Advisory Council on Diabetes, Speakers Bureau for Glaxo SmithKline, National Black Nurses Association, American Nurses Association, American Psychiatric Nurses Association, Texas Nurses Association, The Fort Bend – Houston Chapter of the Black Nurses Association, and Sigma Theta Tau (International Honor Society of Nursing).

In 2002, Dr. Goodluck Okotie-Eboh founded The Ark Fellowship Church, where Angela served as co-pastor. Upon the death of her husband in 2021, Dr. Angela assumed the role of lead pastor for the church, which is located in Cypress, Texas. The TV program, “Word of Faith,” launched in 2014 and reached over 12 million people in southern Nigeria weekly. The TV ministry signed on with the NOW Network in 2023 and can now be watched by 250 million viewers all over the world.

Dr. Angela and her late husband, Dr. Goodluck Okotie-Eboh, are the proud parents of three adult children– Omare, Grace and Toju.
