Primary Care Nurse Practitioners of New York has created a home-visit practice model that may help fill the primary care gap, especially if more states allow advanced nurses to practice to the full extent of their licensure. Founder Gina Nelson says skepticism turned into referrals when physicians realized the collaborative benefits of house calls. The practice now employs roughly 40 nurses with various specialties.
