It’s National Nurse Practitioner Week, now being celebrated by more than 171,000 nurse practitioners in the U.S. who provide high-quality, cost-effective, comprehensive, patient-centered care to patients across the country.
“As the health care provider shortage continues to top the national agenda, it is important that the public be aware that there are NPs are licensed, expert clinicians with advanced education and extensive clinical preparation who provide primary, acute and specialty health care services,” said Big Isle spokeswoman Lynda Hirakami.
“In addition to providing a full range of services, NPs work as partners with their patients, guiding them to make educated health care decisions and healthy lifestyle choices. The confidence that patients have in NP-delivered care is evidenced by the more than 916 million visits made to NPs every year,” said Hirakami. “National Nurse Practitioner Week is a time to celebrate these exceptional health care providers.
“Nurse practitioners are informed, in touch and involved, making them the health care providers of choice for millions and a solution to the primary care crisis in America.”
