We’d like to recognize the more than 170 Cooper nurse practitioners (NPs) in honor of National Nurse Practitioner Week, November 11 through November 17, 2018. At Cooper, the NPs provide a range of health care services, from primary care to providing diabetes management, dermatologic care, and other specialty services.
NPs offer a unique combination of nursing and healthcare services to patients. They diagnose and manage acute and chronic illnesses, and integrate health promotion, disease prevention, counseling, and patient education to help patients understand their complete health picture.
In an aging population, with baby boomers becoming seniors in growing numbers during the next 10 years, having choices about health care providers will become even more important. National NP Week brings visibility to the role of the NP, helping consumers make wise choices when selecting their health care provider.
Thank you to Cooper’s NPs for all you do to care for our patients.
