Laurie S. Finger, MSN, MN, CNS, NP, CCNS, CPNP-AC

Laurie's project titled An Evidence-Based Interdisciplinary Approach to Weight Loss in Children with Obesity involves utilizing an evidence-based, interprofessional, healthy-lifestyle program to help children with obesity and their families achieve a more healthy, active lifestyle that ultimately will allow them to lose weight. The program includes an exercise physiologist, dietician, and behavioral health specialist. Laurie provides medical oversight for the program as a CPNP and DNP student. Laurie has years of experience working as a pediatric endocrinology nurse practitioner serving children in New Orleans and throughout Louisiana.
