About CardinaLight Health
Our Philosophy
“Our practice is proud of the personalized healthcare that we provide to our patients. My approach to healthcare is nursing driven as it is important to me that my patients are educated about their health and more importantly, wellness.”- Sharon Larsen, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC
What is CardinaLight Health?
Here at CardinaLight Health, LLC, we have an essential company motto: Healthcare that comes from the heart. This is because we offer a distinctive type of primary health care. Our care is not traditional, but rather personalized to each patient we see.
We are passionate about providing our patients with the information to understand and improve their health. In addition, we form connections that keep our patients coming back year after year.
Sharon Larsen began CardinaLight Health to serve Crystal Lake and surrounding communities. She is passionate about providing patient care that embodies love, faith, and purpose. Above all else, she wants her patients to understand and be able to improve their health.
Sharon is a licensed nurse practitioner with the Full Practice Authority (FPA) in Illinois. That means she can see patients and offer a full range of care, independent of a physician. She is also board-certified in family medicine. Full Practice Authority allows for more efficient and less expensive care — both of which are important to all healthcare seekers!
Our practice is affiliated with area hospitals. Patients are able to have diagnostic tests completed at any of the area health systems and the results will be sent to us. If one of our patients is admitted to a local hospital, they will be seen by the hospital medical staff. All their records are faxed to the office allowing us to follow up with our patients.
Why Choose CardinaLight Health?
There are many reasons why you should choose CardinaLight Health to serve your medical needs. First, we provide more personalized care. We go over your unique medical needs, treating you like a person, not a number.
We also know how important it is to get to know you so that we understand your individual medical needs. This is why we offer longer appointment times, which gives our patients more time with the provider.
During your visit, we will put together an individualized patient treatment plan so you can take part in your health care. When you leave our offices, you’ll have an understanding of your treatment plan, including what lifestyle modifications need to happen to improve your health. You will also be familiar with the medications that are being prescribed to you, how they work and when you need to follow up.
Our provider can work with any other providers to ensure that you always receive the highest quality health care.

Why “CardinaLight”?
Many believe that when a cardinal appears, an angel is near. The name of our practice, CardinaLight, was born with this thought in mind. My father left behind a legacy that is filled with love, faith and purpose and we wanted to honor this in an endeavor I know that he would have completely supported. Our practice logo is representative of me and my father in a brakeman’s lantern, a lantern my paternal grandfather used throughout his career, and a lantern that was present in our home my entire childhood. CardinaLight Health, LLC hopes to be a medical practice that will embody that love, faith and purpose.
