We’re proud to announce that Gretchen Michaelson, founder and medical director of the Headache Care Center, will be a featured speaker at LEAPPS (Launching Empowered Advanced Practice Providers in Headache Management) this August in Chicago. Hosted by the Diamond Headache Clinic Research and Educational Foundation, LEAPPS brings together nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physicians from across the country to explore the latest evidence-based approaches to diagnosing and managing headache disorders, with a special focus on empowering advanced practice providers to lead in this space.
Gretchen has spent her career doing exactly that. As the second neurology nurse practitioner in the state of Connecticut, she has specialized in headache medicine since 2007, earned the Added Qualification in Headache (AQH) from the National Headache Foundation, and now teaches the next generation of providers as a neurology lecturer at UMass Medical School’s Graduate School of Nursing. We’re proud to see her expertise and leadership recognized on this national stage, and we’re excited for her to share her knowledge with fellow APPs working to advance the field of headache care., registration information can be found on the Diamond Education Foundation website. Patients of Headache Care Center who have questions about Michaelson’s participation in the conference are encouraged to contact our office directly.
