Bayou to Beltway: May 19, 2021

Nurse Practitioner's Kathy Baldridge and Mark DeClouet on Bayou to Beltway this Wednesday.

This Wednesday, Kathy Baldridge, current head of the Louisiana Association of Nurse Practitioners, and Mark DeClouet, a nurse practitioner who runs a clinic in Alexandria, join Bayou to Beltway to talk about the current care crisis in health care. Should nurse practitioners be allowed to practice more widely in Louisiana? What about the rule that requires them to have a "collaborative practice" agreement with an M.D? Does that limit health care in hard to serve areas?

These issues and more on Bayou to Beltway, this Wednesday at 12:30 (88.7 fm) and podcast at KRVS.org
