Juliana Wulforst, PA-C, a trauma physician assistant at WakeMed in Raleigh, shares her Leadership College and personal project, “Implementing a Post Injury Mental Health Screening Intervention at a Level 1 Trauma Center.” PrevNext
As a former trauma patient at WakeMed and as a nurse, I applaud the effort of this project. Two weeks as an inpatient and unable to care for my most basic of needs, it was extremely lonely. I would have benefitted greatly by having an assessment by behavioral health. It took me years to get through some dark thoughts and feelings after my accident and the permanent orthopedic changes that resulted from it. Resources would have been great to help after discharge. Thank you for caring!
