National Nurse Practitioners Week

Choosing the right primary care provider is an important first step in managing your health, but for many Americans, finding a health care provider to meet their needs can be a challenge.

Today, America's nurse practitioners represent 325,000 solutions to improving patient health. In fact, NPs are the health care provider trusted by millions of Americans, and 80% of adults have been treated or know someone who has been treated by an NP.

In all 50 states, NPs assess patients, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses and provide treatment - including prescribing medications. Most importantly, as clinicians who blend clinical expertise with an added emphasis on disease prevention and health management, NPs bring comprehensive perspective to patient care.

As we celebrate National Nurse Practitioner Week, learn how NPs are going the extra mile to treat their patients.
