AGAPNA Health Tip of the Week

🩺 Your health is your greatest investment—start with one simple step today!

This Week’s Tip:
🌿 Monitor Your Blood Pressure Regularly
High blood pressure often has no symptoms, yet it is one of the leading causes of stroke, kidney disease, and heart failure—especially in Black and Brown communities.
✔️ Check your BP at least once a week
✔️ Use a home BP monitor
✔️ Keep a log to share with your healthcare provider
✔️ Reduce salt intake & stay active

Small changes today prevent big problems tomorrow.
Stay healthy. Stay informed. Stay empowered.

Happy World Kindness Day, AGAPNA Family!
💛🩺✨

Today, we pause to celebrate the simple yet powerful act of kindness — something we as Nurse Practitioners embody every single day.

As we care for our patients, support our families, and uplift our communities, kindness is the heartbeat that guides our practice and strengthens our connections.

What act of kindness can you show today — to a patient, a colleague, a family member, or a friend?
Whether it’s a comforting word, a listening ear, or a small gesture of compassion, it can make more of an impact than you know.

Let’s inspire one another.
👇🏽 Share your kindness intention for today below!

Dear AGAPNA Family,

As we celebrate National Nurse Practitioner (NP) Week, I extend my deepest gratitude to all our exceptional Nurse Practitioners within AGAPNA and beyond. Your commitment, compassion, and clinical excellence continue to transform lives, strengthen communities, and advance healthcare equity across the diaspora.

This week is not only a time to honor our profession, but also to recognize the leadership, innovation, and resilience that define each of you. Whether at the bedside, in academia, administration, or advocacy, your contributions remind the world that Nurse Practitioners are essential pillars of holistic, evidence-based care.

Let us continue to uplift one another, mentor the next generation, and champion the voice of nursing leadership wherever we serve. Together, we embody the heart of healing and the power of purpose.

Wishing every NP a meaningful and empowering week of celebration!

With gratitude and pride,
Dr. Eunice Cromwell, DNP, FNP-C

Happy Nurse Practitioner week!! November 12-18…..Theme “It’s your time to shine”.

There’s no doubt that nurse practitioners are at the center of health care delivery 365 days a year. For the next seven days, we have the opportunity to share how vital and powerful the role of an NP is.
