Pioneering Chronic Disease Management at Job Sites Nationwide

Little Rock, Arkansas – A highly experienced Advanced Practice Registered Nurse, Dr. Crawford is the Owner of AIM Health Services, an innovative health initiative aimed at providing chronic disease management directly to high-risk workers on job sites across the country. With over 20 years of nursing experience and 14 years as an Adult Nurse Practitioner, she is committed to enhancing the quality of life for individuals who often lack access to primary care.

Educated in the United States, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from St. Anthony College of Nursing, a Master of Business Administration from Cardinal Stritch University, a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialty in Adult Nurse Practitioner from Northern Illinois University, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice from Grand Canyon University. Her educational and professional background equips her with the knowledge and skills necessary to lead this important initiative.

Her extensive background includes dual certification as an Adult Nurse Practitioner and Advanced Certified Hospice and Palliative Nurse. She has a special interest in diabetes management and has served on various health and professional nursing boards, underscoring her dedication to the nursing profession and community health.

The inspiration for this initiative arose during Dr. Crawford’s work with pipeline workers, who traveled from various parts of the country to demanding jobs that often left them with little time to seek medical care. Many of these workers had not been screened for chronic conditions such as hypertension, hyperlipidemia, or diabetes—conditions that can severely impact their health and livelihood. Recognizing this gap in care, Dr. Crawford saw an opportunity to implement a health service that would meet these workers where they are, providing essential screenings and chronic disease management on-site.

“Our mission at AIM is to bring healthcare directly to those who need it most,” said Dr. Crawford. “By providing primary care services at job sites, we can identify chronic illnesses early and provide management strategies that improve overall health and quality of life.”
