🩺 As primary care shortages grow — with a projected shortfall of up to 86,000 physicians in the next decade — Nurse Practitioners are stepping up to fill the gap.

Research by Monica O’Reilly-Jacob, PhD (Columbia University) shows NPs are now central access points for care, especially in low-income and rural communities. In 2023, more than half of all primary care practices employed NPs — with NP-led practices growing where they’re needed most.

From rural towns to underserved communities, NPs are:
✅ Expanding access where physicians are scarce
✅ Managing chronic disease with evidence-based care
✅ Innovating patient-centered models
But barriers remain: restrictive scope-of-practice laws and inequitable reimbursement continue to limit NP impact.

🚶‍♀️ Just 7,000 steps a day can make a big difference!

A new meta-analysis shows that taking 7,000 daily steps—through everyday activities like walking to the mailbox or grocery shopping—can significantly lower the risk of death, cardiovascular disease, cancer mortality, type 2 diabetes, dementia, depression, and more.

✨ The best part? You don’t need a gym or special gear—just movement. Even small increases in daily steps yield meaningful health benefits.

As Nurse Practitioners, we know that prevention starts with the basics. Let’s keep encouraging our patients to move more and sit less—because every step counts.
