43: Caring About Access

Why do Americans struggle getting access to health care? It's a big question, and a big problem. One with serious consequences.

In this episode, nurse practitioner Wendy Wright, APRN, FAANP, examines a fresh model for primary care where access, time, presence, data, and innovation are key to how her nurse practitioner-led primary care clinics are meeting people where they are—even if that's in the front seat of their car, under a tent, or in a parking lot!  To learn more, visit our website at www.seeyounowpodcast.com.
