Hey everyone. I want to start by saying thank you for being here and for your patience with me this week. I won’t be live for our weekly session tonight, instead, I’m sharing these slides to make sure you still get value and clarity around CCM. Today, we’re going to focus on Chronic Care Management. What it is, who it’s for, what’s changed, and how it fits into care management practice today. The information I’m sharing comes directly from the Medicare Learning Network, the MLN document, updated June 2025. This is the most current guidance CMS has released on Chronic Care Management, and it’s meant to be a practical resource you can use to understand how CCM works in real practice. As you review, I want you to think about how CCM shows up in the work nurses already do, and how understanding this service better can help you position yourself more intentionally going forward. If you have questions, please drop them inside the Skool. I will make sure to review them and respond. We’ll be back live next Wednesday at 7 p.m. Eastern. During that session, we’ll talk more about independent care management, how nurses can position themselves, different ways to work beyond traditional roles, and where CMS is heading. Thank you again for being here, and for staying engaged. Let’s get into it.”

In case you missed our first meeting for 2026. I shared some gems you can use. Hope you're able to join next Wednesday. Same time.

Hey everyone 👋🏽 Just a reminder that I’ll be going LIVE inside this community tonight at 7:00 PM Eastern Time. This will be a relaxed, open conversation. I’ll be introducing myself, sharing my journey, and talking through the different opportunities available for nurses in the care management space. I don’t claim to know everything. But I do know a lot from real experience, and that’s what I’ll be sharing with you. My goal is to help you think more clearly about entrepreneurship, care management, and how this space actually works in the real world. If you’re navigating questions, uncertainty, or just trying to understand what’s possible for you as a nurse outside of traditional roles, I invite you to join me. Come as you are. Listen, ask questions, or just observe. I’m looking forward to connecting with you and spending some time together. See you tonight at 7 PM ET.

Welcome, nurses 😍 Thank you to each and every one of you who decided to join this community and explore what care management can make possible for you. This Skool is not social media. It’s an intentional learning space. The more you engage, ask questions, comment, and participate, the more value you’ll unlock here. Engagement matters because community is how clarity is built. This space is designed to: - Help you understand what care management actually is - Expose you to the opportunities nurses often don’t see - Give you context, language, and confidence around this work This is not my full mentorship. The mentorship is separate and available to those who decide they want deeper, guided support. What you’ll find here is education, perspective, and a community that helps you think differently about your skills and options. Whether you’re: - Just learning - Just curious - Or not quite ready yet You belong here. Sometimes clarity doesn’t come from information alone. Sometimes it comes from community. That’s what this is. Start here 👇🏽 Introduce yourself in the comments:1️⃣ What made you join Empower Care Academy?2️⃣ What’s one thing you’re curious to learn about care management? Weekly Live Support I’ll be hosting Care Management Office Hours every Wednesday at 7:00 PM Eastern. This is a live space for Q&A, discussion, and guidance.
