Fragile Fracture Care Management Program

Abstract

On the cover: "Things That Are Round" by Marsha Balian, NP, is an acrylic on canvas. Ms Balian is self-taught and loves to use highly saturated color. She feels her work can be occasionally confrontational but always has a humorous edge. She is increasingly aware of how the issue of family plays into our lives, not just as it has impacted our pasts but how each of us weaves the desire for family (traditional or not) or connection with the world into the fabric of our lives. This concept leads her as a Nurse Practitioner to a continued focus on the lives of women and children as the subject of her art.
