Medicare Annual Wellness Visit

Amy is the medicare RN at our West Broadway location. She says, "I enjoy the extra time I get to spend with our patients, getting to know them and making sure each person has all  of the tools they need to stay as healthy as possible, as well as partnering with the patients' primary care provider."

Sheila is our RN at the Valley View location. She says, "I enjoy the stories the patients share, and I feel they appreciate the extra time we spend educating them to live their best life along with helping their primary care physician pick up on anything the patient may need."

I have been doing Medicare Wellness visits at the 42nd and L clinic for a few years now and love to see how the program has expanded over the years. What I enjoy the most about being a Medicare Wellness Nurse is seeing repeat patients year after year. I enjoy the extra time I get to know patients and their families, joys and hobbies. I get such a feeling of accomplishment and joy when a patient has worked on and met one of their healthcare goals over a years time and love to be able to celebrate an accomplishment with a patient. 

I enjoy being able to take extra time with patients to build a good relationship. Helping them feel comfortable and offering tools they can use to maintain/improve their quality of life is rewarding. The providers appreciate the insight the wellness visit gives them into their patients.

I enjoy working with the providers to make sure each patient has the necessary screenings completed and tools to be the healthiest they can be. I truly love taking the time to get to know each patient and listening to stories of their lives.

I have been doing Medicare Wellness Visits for almost a year now. There is so much about this program that I love; from the one to one time I get to spend truly getting to know the patient, to the education about vaccinations, advance directives and disease management, to helping patients set goals for the next year and assisting them with referrals if needed. It’s wonderful to be part of a collaborative team that’s truly making a difference and helping patients focus on wellness. 

I love what I am doing. After being a bedside nurse for over 20 years and Respiratory Therapist for over 18 years, I love my newest position.  Medicare Wellness RN. I have been working at this position for over a year now. I like the fact that we are able to see our patients one on one during the visit. I enjoy working with the providers at both of my clinics. I have the benefit of being able to ensure my patients have the vaccines they need or want. Check to see if they have routine health screenings to maintain their health. I love seeing my patients return and see how their health is doing and catch up again.
