Vital Perspectives
A Blog on Health, Wellness, and Growth
Welcome to Vital Perspectives! I’m Dr. Michelle Brown, NP, and I created this blog to share my passion for healthcare, wellness, and nursing education. Here, I write about real-world experiences, practical tips, and evidence-based insights that matter to both patients and providers.
With more than 15 years of experience as a nurse practitioner and educator, I’ve seen firsthand how important it is to bring compassion and clarity back into healthcare. My goal is to make complex topics simple, highlight the challenges and successes of modern medicine, and remind us all of the “care” in healthcare.
Whether you’re a patient searching for trustworthy wellness guidance, a nursing student seeking support, or a fellow healthcare professional looking for perspective, Vital Perspectives is here to inform, inspire, and empower you.
