NP for that
NPs occupy an important space
NPs serve patients in places where the healthcare system doesn’t reach—delivering a range of services that might not otherwise exist. NPs treat the whole person, considering specific health needs, cultural values, lifestyle, and well-being goals. This patient-centered care is crucial in a struggling healthcare system.
