CRN launches online
community for NPs

The Council for Responsible Nutrition has joined the new, professional networking website Generation NP, an online community for practicing nurse practitioners.


CRN is similarly involved in Pharmacist Society, an online community sponsored by The Drug Store News Group, to dispense relevant information around the broad use of dietary supplements to augment a healthy diet and exercise regimen.


“Nurse practitioners are an important resource for consumers when it comes to health,” stated Judy Blatman, SVP communications for CRN. And CRN plans to make an immediate impression. “Working with Pharmacist Society has enabled us to hold 
webinars, post news and communicate directly with pharmacists, and we look forward to Generation NP providing the same important opportunities.”


This effort is CRN’s latest in a series of social media engagement initiatives undertaken by the association to reach a variety of audiences with science-based information about dietary supplements. 


Targeting consumers, CRN Foundation’s “Life…supplemented” consumer wellness education campaign also has enhanced its online efforts, having added to its website a community of bloggers and a supplement library, both of which also will be available from its soon-to-be-launched mobile app.
