How it works

How NP Outreach works

Six simple steps connect Nurse Practitioners, local facilities and the people they serve.

01

Community partnerships

Nurse Practitioners partner with recreation centers, senior centers, schools, hospitals and health clubs in their practice region, linking motivational programs to existing healthy-lifestyle classes that run four to six weeks.

02

Always up to date

Course materials follow the latest clinical guidelines, and NP Outreach screens every gift bag and flags any counter-indications for presenters.

03

A gift bag for every participant

Each participant receives a bag of healthy products on enrolling in a center-based series. Enrollment fees offset the cost of the bags and help ensure turnout.

04

Products explained

Throughout the lectures, prevention and treatment products are identified, their specific use is explained, and gift-bag items serve as visual demos.

05

One point of contact

NP Outreach staff are the liaison between manufacturers and the Nurse Practitioners who educate participants.

06

Measured results

Participants complete brief entry and exit questionnaires, so outcomes are tracked.

Healthy Women

Two audiences, two tailored bags

The Healthy Women program combines exercise classes — yoga, aerobics, women's self-defense, healthy cooking, Jazzercise, and breast cancer survival and screening — with a lecture series and specific product usage and education, and measures results to promote lasting lifestyle change. Each event's gift bag is matched to the women attending.

25–40

Women building healthy habits

Fitness, nutrition, skin care, and fertility and prenatal wellness.

40–55

Women navigating midlife changes

Perimenopause and menopause, heart and bone health, and sleep.

05

One point of contact

What the program sets out to do

  • Inspire people over fifty to make healthy lifestyle changes for a longer, stronger life
  • Bring large groups of seniors together in healthy community activities, reducing isolation
  • Teach appropriate use of health products to reduce medical office visits, illness and mortality
  • Improve seniors' access to health information through Nurse Practitioners in community settings
  • Identify at-risk seniors and help them reach care, or prevent the need through community-based triage

Why seniors join

  • Take control of your health and live longer and stronger
  • Learn from health providers in a relaxed, social setting
  • Hear other people's health questions, including ones you hadn't thought of
  • Receive a bonus bag of products tailored to your needs
  • Opportunity to connect with a community facility

What the lecture covers

A friendly, sometimes humorous “head to toe” talk that follows the order of a primary care physical. Seniors are invited to interrupt with questions, and products are shown for each health concern. Before the first exercise class, the Nurse Practitioner and exercise leader also go over the risks and benefits of exercise.

Our mission

Connecting communities to better health

Founded in 2000 to assist working Nurse Practitioners, NP Outreach connects community resources, educators, grant writers, health insurers, marketers and product manufacturers to promote public health — raising awareness of NPs as quality providers and tackling chronic disease through new ways of delivering care.

How many people attend a lecture?

Presenters typically draw 40 to 100 participants, depending on location, publicity and weather. Group medical visits are smaller.

How often would I present?

Most presenters average three times a year. You have no obligation to keep presenting beyond the events you've scheduled.

Can RNs or PAs be presenters?

No. NP Outreach was designed for and by Nurse Practitioners, and participants often ask questions that fall within NP scope of practice.

What is Senior Motivations?

An NP Outreach program for men and women 55+. Nurse Practitioners partner with senior centers to run a four-week series of health talks and exercise, with a bag of products to try. Find out more in the Senior Motivations section above.

What is Healthy Mom?
