A Message From the Entrepreneur Community Co-chair

Erin Athey, DNP, FNP-BC, RN, FAANP

Hello everyone! I am a family NP, nurse educator and community-engaged scholar who has spent the last 15 years working on innovative community-based programs in Washington, D.C. Most of my programs have come from my dissatisfaction with the current model of health care and my desire to improve health care delivery to under-resourced and disenfranchised communities. My work includes developing community-based programs on mental health literacy for adults and mobile health COVID-19 testing and vaccination programs. Most recently, I developed a nurse-led wellness hub model in public housing. This last program led to the formation of my new company, Community Concierge Care (“C3 Cares”). For this, I won the 2021 Johnson and Johnson Quickfire Challenge for Nurses: Improving Access to Care.

So, I am a relatively new entrepreneur, but I have learned a lot this past year. I truly believe that NPs have a tremendous potential to lead the movement on improving health care in the US. I am very excited to share what I have learned and hear about the experiences of my fellow NPs!
