What putting her health first can look like
One woman’s path through a Her Health First Visit, from “I’m just tired” to a plan and a team that followed through.
Illustrative example. [Replace with real patient stories, shared with written consent]
Denise, 44
Mom of two, caring for her father, working full time.
Before
She’d been exhausted for a year and blamed it on stress. She hadn’t had a physical since her youngest was born.
The visit
Her NP asked about sleep, periods, stress, and home. Labs showed low iron and high blood sugar. She was also overdue for a mammogram.
The plan
Treatment for her iron, a nutrition plan, a mammogram, and a specialist visit scheduled by her navigator.
The follow-through
Her navigator checked in after each appointment and connected her with adult day programs for her dad, giving her back two afternoons a week.
