Cases with Helena in’t Veld, MSN, FNP-C

The power of personalized treatment

   

   

Helena in’t Veld is a family nurse practitioner at Arizona Centers for Digestive Health, and she regularly sees patients with Barrett’s esophagus. She describes some of those patients as highly anxious and others as very reluctant to take their risk factors seriously. 

   

“Now I’m really able to show patients on paper: ‘This is your risk… this is not the general population where there are outliers, this is you and how we are going to treat you.’ ”
