Nurse Practitioners Support Women in Healthcare Decision Making

When in doubt about any women’s health issue, consult a professional. Want to ask a probing question about healthy sex and sexuality? Do you know the best way to approach weight loss and nutrition? Have an embarrassing bowel control problem? No matter how sensitive your questions and issues are, a nurse practitioner can help.


Nurse practitioners can often provide the same health care services as doctors. Because NPs are focused on prevention and education, they can provide insight to help you become an advocate of your own health and wellness.

The National Association for Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health is a great place to start. Recognizing women as the primary health care decision makers, NPWH is a credible source of information for any woman regarding her physical, emotional and spiritual needs.
