Tattoos and Telehealth
Hosted by Nicole Baldwin, APRN & Kelli White, APRN. Not your typical health podcast. Tattoos and Telehealth is where two badass nurse practitioners get real about all things telehealth—no scrubs required. Nicole and Kelli keep it light, unfiltered, and totally not medical advice. Just two gals with ink, insight, and a lot to say. Pull up a chair, grab your coffee (or wine), and let’s talk telehealth.
