From the first visit to ongoing care, Advanced Practice Providers are there for our patients… and their impact reaches nearly every corner of Blessing Health System. 💙
During National Advanced Practice Provider Week, we’re celebrating the nurse practitioners, physician assistants and clinical nurse specialists who bring expertise, compassion and collaboration to the care of our patients every day.
At Blessing, our APPs are caring for patients in neurosurgery, gastroenterology, urgent care, cardiology, oncology, employer health, family medicine, cardiothoracic surgery, OB/GYN, emergency medicine, the ICU, pediatrics, hospital medicine, pulmonology, anesthesia, orthopedics, hospice and palliative care, behavioral health, infectious disease, internal medicine, pain management, bariatrics and weight loss, wound and hyperbaric care, nephrology, plastic surgery and dermatology… with endocrinology joining the list this fall;)
That range matters.
APPs diagnose illnesses, develop treatment plans, prescribe medications, perform procedures, manage chronic conditions and work alongside physicians and care teams to provide high-quality, compassionate care. In a rural health system, they also play an important role in helping patients access expert care close to home.
To every APP across Blessing: thank you. Thank you for the knowledge you bring, the patients you advocate for, the teams you strengthen and the communities you serve.
We’re grateful for all that you do… and all the ways you help make care possible, every day. 💙
Happy APP Week!
