NPs Tackle Obesity With Dialogue and Information

Posted almost 12 years ago by Margaret Crump

ANPF and NPs are tackling the US obesity crisis with a new white paper that suggests that health care providers can positively impact millions of lives by simply starting a dialogue with patients.

Read more about how NPs are addressing obesity with their patients and download the full obesity white paper on the ANPF website.

Research shows that even though few obese patients initiate a conversation they often respond positively to long-term conversations and practical information and tools. One such resource is ANPF’s Simply Health in Practice initiative, an online compilation of information about wellness, nutrition and fitness curated by nurse practitioners. 

Make sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and here on eNP Network for information on new healthy living resources from Simply Health in Practice in the coming weeks, including blog posts, patient handouts, videos and a special e-book.

We look forward to sharing Simply Health with you!
