November 9-15 is National Nurse Practitioner Week. For more than 60 years, nurse practitioners (NPs) have been providing primary, acute and specialty health care to millions of patients across the lifespan. NPs evaluate patients, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses, write prescriptions and bring a comprehensive perspective to health care in nearly 1 billion patient visits each year. There are now over 461,000 licensed NPs across the United States providing high-quality healthcare services to patients, but we are partial to our fantastic nurse practitioners here at the BCMC Rural Health Clinic. We'd like to wish Kristen Harvey, April Harris, and Tiffany Wargo a wonderful !
