Iowa has seen a 30%+ increase in mental health crisis calls over the past decade, dramatically outpacing growth in available psychiatric providers. Rural Iowa counties — especially in the northwest — have virtually no local psychiatrists.

Your Hometown NP provider is a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner licensed in Iowa. In Iowa, PMHNPs hold full independent practice authority under the Iowa Nurse Practice Act (Iowa Code § 152.1).
