Let's first start where we are as a nation:
The CDC states that 60% of Americans have at least one chronic disease (CDC 2021).
Chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. (CDC 201).
Many chronic diseases are caused by four choices we make daily: smoking, poor nutrition, lack of exercise, and excessive alcohol intake. (CDC 2021)
These statistics regarding the healthcare industry are quite disheartening. It is unfortunate that the healthcare consumers are not empowered enough and there is a tendency towards overprescribing of medications. Medication errors are the third leading cause of death in the US. Additionally, there is a lack of continuity and coordination of care which further adds to the problem. It is no surprise that people are falling sick.
The healthcare system can be a challenging experience for many of us. But the good news is that change is already underway. We can look forward to a brighter, more promising future for healthcare with the introduction of Nurse Coaches.
Nurses, especially nurse coaches, play a prominent role in driving the change towards a healthier and happier society. As a nurse coach, I aim to empower and facilitate individuals to achieve their health and well-being goals. By adopting a lifestyle that eliminates the root causes of chronic illnesses, we can prevent, stop, or even reverse many of these illnesses. My education and experience as a nurse enables me to guide my clients toward healthier choices. We, nurse coaches follow a holistic, evidence-based approach that focuses on the individual and what matters most to them.
As nurses, we have been working tirelessly on the frontlines. We are exhausted from witnessing preventable illnesses and we strongly believe that change is necessary. We have even left jobs because we know that people deserve better. We strongly believe that prevention and nurse coaching can be the catalysts for positive change.
Imagine a day when you meet with a nurse coach to collaborate on a plan to improve your body, mind, and spirit and take control of your health and well-being. We will offer support, challenge, and celebrate as you transform into a healthier version of yourself.
Experience the benefits of a nurse coach by connecting with me today. Empower yourself with the support and guidance you need to improve your life and achieve your health goals.
Join me in the journey towards a healthier and happier life.
