The future of vascular access is multidisciplinary.
In this newest issue of the VACC Newsletter, we feature four clinicians from a variety of settings, educational backgrounds, and patient populations. They all work to promote brighter patient outcomes through more knowledgeable vascular access—and they all embody what it means to be board certified in vascular access.
Featuring:
- Dr. Kerry Kennedy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, ACHPN, VA-BC™: a palliative care nurse practitioner who has carried vascular access with her from LVN to DNP.
- Keegan Mahoney, BS, RRT, VA-BC™, and Scott Murach, EMT, RRT, VA-BC™: two clinicians who work to better patient care in our specialty by promoting clinicians from a variety of educational backgrounds and degrees. Inclusivity elevates the profession—and puts patient care at the forefront of what we do.
- How one VA-BC™, Chris Jungkans, BSN, RN, CPUI, VA-BC™, spearheaded the movement to create his institution’s first vascular access team—and how it’s doing now.
