ABOUT MARIJKE VROOMEN DURNING

Want to know how to say my name? Check this link: https://forvo.com/word/marijke/ So who am I? I am a writer who loves to educate. As an RN, I took a long career in caring for and communicating with patients and their families and brought my experience to the written word. If you need content for online and print outlets, including cover articles, blogs, columns, web copy, and newsletters for consumers and medical professionals, let\'s talk. I also invite you to subscribe to my newsletter: Musing About Medicine and Healthcare (https://empoweredwellness.substack.com/) I look at my writing as an extension of the bedside teaching nurses often don\'t have time for. When writing for professional audiences, I change my voice, but not my approach towards writing – language should always be easy to read and understand. You can listen to me speak about my work in this episode of The Health Design Podcast (https://t.co/Vyl2rCTP7x). I have several long-term clients. They are happy with my work and how I fit in. I work closely with all clients to learn what they need from me and I deliver good results on time, as promised. Some of my clients include WebMD, Healthgrades.com, HealthyWomen.org, National Alopecia Areata Foundation, Sepsis Alliance, MSN Lifestyle, Diagnostic Imaging, David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. I have also been published in Costco Connection, Oncology Live, Cure Magazine, Alive, and more. My specialties include taking complicated medical and scientific information, and writing it in friendly and easy-to-understand text for the consumer audience. I also give talks, presentations, and workshops on health, wellness, writing, and quilting.
