NPs for Elder Care |
|
A growing number of NPs are stepping in to meet the rising demand for elder care as the country faces a geriatrician shortage. Nurse practitioner Stephanie Johnson, for instance, spends her days visiting homebound seniors, often skipping lunch to fit in up to 10 patients. With the senior population increasing and fewer doctors entering geriatrics, nurse practitioners are helping fill the gap—especially in states where they can work independently—with around 15 percent of NPs certified to treat older adults. Research suggests NPs can improve patient outcomes and lower costs. |

Healing Power of Music |
|
Music therapy is gaining recognition as an effective way to help cancer patients manage stress and emotional challenges, with studies showing it can be as beneficial as traditional cognitive behavioral therapy. It involves active collaboration with trained therapists through songwriting, lyrical expression, and listening, helping patients process emotions in creative ways. As cancer survival rates rise, experts emphasize the need for diverse supportive treatments to improve quality of life. Music therapy stands out for its ability to offer personalized, emotionally resonant care that goes beyond passive listening. |

Are You Prepared for Babesiosis? |
|
Have you heard of babesiosis, the tick-borne, malaria-like disease that’s spreading into mid-Atlantic states? More commonly found in the Northeast and upper Midwest, babesiosis is finding new footing in states like Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware thanks to warmer winters and disrupted ecosystems, which have allowed blacklegged ticks carrying Babesia parasites to thrive in new areas. Researchers warn early action is needed as cases rise in regions unfamiliar with the disease. Babesiosis often doesn’t cause symptoms, but people can experience flu-like symptoms—and it can be life-threatening to some. |
