The Founding Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) at the University of South Carolina School of Nursing that Carly Willeford attended was originally designed to prepare the clinical nurse practitioner in scholarship academia with advanced clinical rotations that offered the ability to obtain double or triple board certification opportunities in Family Practice, Acute Care, Psych Mental Health. The goal of the original program was to develop expertise in translational evidenced-based strategies implemented into the clinical practice setting and evaluated.
DNPs that were fortunate enough to graduate from these early DNP programs had the ability to sit for national boards if desired, and obtain double or triple board certifications depending on current credentials. The DNP program provided training to design innovative clinical delivery models that improved individualized treatment programs in efforts to improve the national health statistics and lower the burden of health care cost.
I have focused my career in developing a healthcare model I call the 7 Pillars of Healing. This model gets to the root cause of chronic illness. In short, I nickname my model "raw health" that needs a raw doctor. Collecting raw data is the first step to gain a more thorough understanding of a patient, their disease, concerns, challenges, or demographics, system, concept, or environment. Business owners can extract useful and accurate information about the condition of their business from raw data—for example, interest, sales figures, marketing campaign performance, and overall productivity.
The raw data from working with patients must include the function alterations in the persons metabolism, coupled with the need to apply conservative therapies such as education in the critical areas of nutrition, sleep, exercise, gut microbiome, hormones, mental health and the necessary lifestyle changes in efforts to optimize and modulate physiology and behavior.
Chronic statistical data tells us today's population is a prematurely aging population that is experiencing the burdens of chronic disease, high medical cost, and side effects from a poly-medications/poly-pharmacy driven conventional medical model. Communities across the nation struggle with co-morbidity challenges of pain management, opioid use disorder, addiction, obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and dementia.
Chronic diseases are ongoing, and generally illnesses such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes are often preventable through early disease detection, improved diet, exercise, lifestyle changes, and mental health treatment. I offer professional consulting and counseling in efforts to improve critical health risk factors driving the devasting chronic disease statistics in our nation. Many patients in addition to their chronic medical diagnosis also struggle greatly with pain management issues, failed back surgeries, chronic depression, loneliness, anxiety, opioid use disorder, substance abuse, addictions and mental health conditions that become an overwhelming barrier to healthcare coupled with financial burdens.
I have learned from my patients that when they experience symptomatic chronic depression with no relief from medication(s), they stop implementing their home lifestyle strategies and their condition begins to worsen. We consistently see in the elderly population the risk of a fall that requires surgery and the long rehab sometimes may leave the patient with the real possibility of not ever being able to return home. When a family member has to leave the home due to a stroke, dementia, or falls, the family faces financial burdens as they tackle the extreme fees of assisted living, skilled care or lock-down facilities for alzhiemers and dementia patients.
Today, we hold 5 medical patents and we continue to create new business and investments within our coastal community. The healthcare experience over decades drives my unstoppable passion for preventing devastating chronic disease with empathy and thankfulness for the opportunity to serve my once rural and now fastest growing county in the state. I raise awareness of risk factors, work to usher in an organic chemical free mindset to healthcare and most importantly give God all the glory for the best years of my life living in my beautiful community raising six children who grew into amazing and successful young adults.
As a Christ follower and a healthcare provider I am passionate about networking with the local churches and temples in efforts to bridge faith communities together. I love teaching bible studies and conducting health & wellness seminars on various topics to all age groups. Described in this paper, is the understanding and critical need for integrating spirituality into patient care, at the patient's request, in every healthcare setting. The provider should be able to do so in a sensible and sensitive way, because at stake is the health and well-being of the patient and hopefully, the satisfaction that we as health care providers can experience in delivering care that addresses the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. Diverse religions, medicine, and healthcare have been related in one way or another in all population groups since the beginning of recorded history.
A recent report from the CDC showed that 94% of US deaths involving COVID-19 were associated with other conditions, or comorbidities. Healthcare is a bridge to productive dialogue and conversations based on a willingness to recognize and probe genuine differences while also seeking that which is held in common for the greater good of mankind and community.
Many research studies validate and report positive outcomes when we bridge religion, medicine and healthcare in efforts to heal separations and division.
The American Heart Association states prevention strategies and early intervention has potential to mitigate or reverse devastating disease such as stress, anxiety, drug addiction, violence, as welt as chronic disease that is overwhelming our national health care budget and establishing a crisis in the American family.
