About Me

Carissa B. Cooper is a certified nurse practitioner and works with Cumberland Diabetes Center in Crossville, TN. She enjoys managing diabetic patient care and especially likes helping them utilize technologies like insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors. When she’s not practicing medicine, Carissa enjoys the mountains and spending time with her family as well as outdoor walks and yoga classes on her weekends.
“I enjoy chronic illness management because it is more than just pharmaceutical medication management. Our patients can drastically improve their diabetes control through lifestyle modifications. I feel like my patients are more engaged and successful with their health when they understand why lifestyle changes are necessary.”
