Today\u2019s Nurse Practitioner entrepreneurs face shortages in funding as well as staffing. Within the traditional health care settings we have limited time and resources to fulfill outreach initiatives for patient education and health promotion. NP Outreach was created in 2000 to assist busy working Nurse Practitioners by supporting the networking of community resources, local media, educators, grant writers, health insurers, marketers and product manufacturers to promote public health.<\/p>\n
\u00a0In accordance with the American Nurses Association’s “Code for Nurses”, it is our mission as an organization of Nurse Practitioners to collaborate “with members of the health professions and other citizens in promoting community and national efforts to meet the health needs of the public.” -ANA Code for Nurses-<\/p>\n

At NP Outreach we believe \u201cthe box\u201d may be our current primary care office. We are committed to finding affordable ways to increase access to care – linked to nontraditional sites of care. By moving ourselves and our potentially chronically ill patients from the \u201csick office\u201d to community wellness settings, we are physically guiding them on a path to health. We are dedicated to this journey.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-35px|auto||auto||” custom_padding=”||3px|||”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_blurb title=”How This Works” image=”https:\/\/npoutreach.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/senior-community-team-1.jpg” alt=”senior community team-1″ _builder_version=”4.8.1″ _module_preset=”default”]<\/p>\n Head to toe presentation format paralleling sequence of a primary care provider\u2019s complete physical exam, while highlighting health problems unique to the population your are addressing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Participants are invited to interrupt with any questions they may have and frequently use these lectures as opportunities to clarify questions not raised in their primary care visits.
