Why This Works

Businesses, government and Community organizations often share common goals with health care providers in the area of public health education, but require coordination to join forces in achieving those goals.
Patients learn best in a comfortable social setting, rather than the undressed sterile typical medical exam room setting.
Gift bags and other motivational incentives are effective methods for bringing patients to health promotion activities.
Chronic health care problems are not effectively prevented or treated in the acute care setting, as demonstrated by increasing rates of diabetes, cardiac disease, COPD, mental illness, and obesity in the United States.
Group Medical Visits and Shared Medical Visits are interesting new billable service delivery models, that are difficult to accommodate within most primary care offices.
Bringing patients into wellness and health promoting settings is a way for Nurse Practitioners to break up the chronic illness office visit patterns and introduce patients to local currently under utilized resources.
It was through the process of repeatedly writing grants, networking with Community organizations and businesses, working with fellow NP’s and refining outreach programs and curriculum that Nurse Practitioner Outreach was formed. We invite you to join the team.
