From the Director
Grateful for Grant Funded Education
By: Terri Schmitt PhD, APRN, FNP-BC, FAANP
Executive Director, NPACE
Grant-funded education is something I am incredibly grateful for at NPACE.
I firmly believe it makes a difference. Ongoing clinical practice brings exposure to commonly seen clinical puzzles, patient struggles, and system barriers. Two of those common struggles are questions about whether to vaccinate or not and obesity.
I realize every outlet is talking about obesity, but the plague seems to be not only growing but unstoppable. The continued increase begs a host of causation questions, but also a reflection on how healthcare addresses this as a disease and if as clinicians we are missing a bigger picture. Obesity is a late sign of a larger neuroendocrine disruption, multifactorial in nature, with contributors yet to be fully supported in earlier screening and intervention.

Women & Heart Disease
By: Mona Williams-Gregory, PhD, DNP,

Although family history of heart disease is a determinant of heart disease for men and women, family history is a greater risk factor for the development of heart disease in women. Women undergo changes across the life cycle that increase their cardiovascular risk. Pregnant women who have hypertension, preeclampsia, or gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing heart disease later in life. The hormonal changes associated with menopause accelerate the risk of small vessel heart disease in women.
