Mary Ann Wietbrock was a critical care nurse focused on the cardiac population for a number of years until she noticed the physical toll working on the bedside had on her body.  This prompted her to pivot in her nursing career and start her own business helping patients navigate their wellness journey.  Mary Ann focuses on exercise, nutrition, and medication management with her patients and prides herself on taking a detailed and evidence based approach to her patient’s care.

On Episode 3, HHP host, Pete Martin and Diabetes Care and Education Specialist, David Miller talk on the topic of diabetes. David brings a unique perspective on the patient care he provides and what it means to stay committed to patient outcomes.

HHP Episode 2 dives into the topic of midwifery. Darla Berry, Manager of Nurse Midwifery Services at IU Health, gives us insight on her practice and debunks common myths about being a midwife. The state of Indiana has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the US.
