I have spent my fifteen year nursing career providing bedside care to patients in acute care settings. Over the years I have grown, and at times felt frustration, in the knowledge that many acute situations could have been avoided with better access to primary care treatment and management of chronic conditions.
It is my hope that there will be an expansion of the health care system that would allow the public greater access to more thorough preventative care. An increase in the numbers of mid level providers would allow for more preventative care and treatment, thus better control of chronic conditions and decreases in the number of more costly Emergency Room visits, thereby yielding overall decreases in health care cost for all: Least I
