Pinehurst Medical Clinic (PMC) is proud to announce the recruitment of Jessica Jones, DNP, FNP-C, BSN, to its esteemed Cardiology team in Pinehurst. Jessica provides patient services under agreement with FirstHealth. FirstHealth with Pinehurst Medical Clinic Cardiology celebrate this collaborative effort to ensure exceptional care for patients across the region.

Jessica earned her Doctor of Nursing degree with a Family Nurse Practitioner concentration from Gardner-Webb University, Boiling Springs, NC. She also completed her Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and previously, a Bachelor of Science in Molecular Biology, both from the University of North Carolina at Pembroke, Pembroke, NC.

Driven by a desire to make a meaningful, lasting impact, Jessica pursued a career in healthcare to improve the lives and outcomes of those she serves. Helping others has always been important to her, and she recognized healthcare as the field where she could make the greatest difference. Her care philosophy centers on valuing character, and believing that leadership is best demonstrated through service and integrity. As a healthcare provider, she strives to lead by example in her daily practice.

โ€œRecruiting exceptional providers like Jessica Jones, DNP, FNP-C, BSN, is key to expanding the high-quality patient centered care provided by our cardiology team,โ€ said Brandon Enfinger, CEO of PMC. Jessica's addition not only expands the depth of expertise available but reaffirms the shared mission of PMC and FirstHealth: to bring world-class healthcare close to home.

PMC and FirstHealth have a long history of collaboration, working together for years to deliver high-quality healthcare to our local communities. As one of the regionโ€™s largest independent healthcare organizations, PMC serves as a pillar to FirstHealthโ€™s heart and vascular program, as Jessica will join twenty-three other PMC cardiology providers who also provide patient services under agreement with FirstHealth.

Outside of work, Jessica enjoys reading and cooking, especially experimenting with new recipes. She is a proud mom to two boys and a stepdaughter, an active member of church, and takes pride in remaining connected to her Native American community as a member of the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina.

Jessica Jones, DNP, FNP-C, BSN, B.S, sees patients at 205 Page Road, Pinehurst, NC.

Just a reminder from Rebecca Pettigrew, PA-C, a provider in the PMC Pulmonology and Sleep Medicine Department:
Daylight Saving Time begins this Sunday, March 8, at 2:00 a.m., and the clocks will jump ahead to 3:00 a.m.

The shift in clocks disrupts your circadian rhythm, your internal biological clock that regulates sleep, alertness, hormones, and even metabolism. ๐—˜๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ฎ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ-๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜† ๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฝ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—ฟ ๐˜€๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ ๐—พ๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜†, ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ฑ.

๐ŸŒŸHere are a few tips from our Sleep Medicine team to help you prepare for the change:

Aim for natural light exposure within 30 minutes of waking, even better if with some movement. In the evening, dim overhead lights and limit blue light from screens at least one hour before bed.โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ“ฑ

We hope these tips help make the transition a little easier and serve as a helpful reminder for this Sunday.

๐ŸŒ World Obesity Day

Today is a reminder that obesity is not simply about weight - it is a complex chronic disease.

Dr. Julie Baugher, Obesity Medicine and Internal Medicine Physician with PMC shares important information about the disease of obesity.

Nearly 40% of adults worldwide are living with obesity, and by 2030, 50% of U.S. adults are projected to be affected. This makes obesity one of the fastest growing global health challenges.

Obesity is driven by a complex interplay of genetics, hormones, metabolism, and environmental factors. It is not a failure of willpower, but rather a disruption in the body's weight regulation system. Even adipose (fat) tissue functions as an active endocrine organ, influencing metabolism and energy balance.

Untreated obesity can increase the risk of conditions such as Type 2 Diabetes, Heart Disease, Chronic Kidney Disease, and Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

The good news is that effective treatments exist, including FDA-approved medications such as Phentermine, Contrave, Qsymia, and newer GLP-1 receptor agonists, which have significantly improved outcomes for many patients.

One of the biggest barriers to treatment remains weight stigma. Many patients struggling with obesity have tried repeatedly to lose weight on their own. As healthcare providers, our role is to replace stigma with empathy, education, and evidence-based care.

This World Obesity Day, let's change the conversation - from blame to understanding, and from stigma to support.

This day is an important opportunity to start conversations, educate others, and raise awareness about colorectal cancer, a highly preventable disease. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, more than 1.5 million people are colorectal cancer survivors.

We look forward to seeing everyone in their best blue attire. Help us spread the message by sharing this day with friends, family, and others throughout the community.
