The Second Day before Christmas...from state secretary Michelle Nelson

On the Second Day Before Christmas My True Love Gave to Me...

Season's Greetings from your State Secretary.

This time of the year brings a special focus on caring for others and showing those closest to us just how much we love them. The business of caring for loved ones and ourselves should be year round.

As advanced practice nurses, we have a unique opportunity and responsibility to espouse optimal health maintenance. For all kinds of reasons, too many people are not taking advantage of the free services available to them.

Let us remember to promote preventive healthcare screening and counseling. Take a look at the following website to see what is currently covered under the various health insurance plans. Share it with everyone. Care on!

Wishing you the best for this holiday season,
