We Fly Friday: Nursing Faculty Edition

These nurse practitioners serve as faculty within our nursing programs and are supporting the as the clinic expands services to provide Primary Care!

If you need an annual physical or are looking for a new provider to take care of managing common conditions like your blood pressure, or diabetes, the Healthy Lifestyle Center is here for you. If you are looking for another place to go when you are sick and need to be seen, the Nurse Practitioners at the HLC can help with that too. At present, they are set up to bill Medicaid, Medicare, and Anthem insurance. If you have another insurance provider, they can bill them as an out of network provider. Call them at 765-285-1293 to make an appointment today. Or visit bsu.edu/icc to learn more about the services of the Interprofessional Community Clinics.

We also know our students are strong based on Grip Strength, and they have great balance, and reaction time too. Thanks to all our volunteers and contestants for making this a great event.
