Why It Matters
The company will use this funding to grow its NP network, expand into additional states and more. This is more important than ever before as healthcare professionals continue to feel burnt out, causing a massive shortage of workers. At the same time, state legislation is broadening the scope of practice for NPs. With this perfect storm, NPs are uniquely positioned to help improve access to care – but only if they’re equipped with the proper resources.
“Nurse practitioners, along with other healthcare professionals, have felt undervalued and burnt out for years – a sentiment that was exacerbated by the pandemic and continues in its aftermath,” said Sylvia Hastanan, founder and CEO of Greater Good Health, who spent the last decade in leadership roles with national provider organizations such as Optum, Davita Medical Group and HealthCare Partners. “As a result, the nation is facing an alarming shortage of healthcare workers, especially in primary care. To help address provider burnout, it’s important to build and expand systems designed to support healthcare professionals to work at the top of their license.”
