Matrix Medical Network Recognizes National Nurse Practitioner Week

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 10, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Matrix Medical Network^® (Matrix) is proud to recognize the critical work of nurse practitioners as a part of Nurse Practitioner Week themed "NPs: Going the Extra Mile." (November 7-13). For more than 20 years, Matrix has met individuals where they live and work to assess health and safety, identify and close care gaps, and offer life-changing services that empower them to better manage their own health. In 2020, Matrix has expanded into multiple lines of business to support a more broad and diverse set of people in need of access to expert healthcare and as a part of this growth the number of Matrix NPs continues to increase.
