Federal Advocacy
Bringing The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner® to Capitol Hill
Federal legislation has a direct impact on the NP role—and the patients they serve. That’s why AANP's legislative team represents NPs and their patients on critical issues related to licensure, access to care, patient safety, health care reform, reimbursement and other concerns.
In addition to advocating on NP-related policies, AANP represents NPs on national committees and in health organizations, bringing the NP perspective to health care leaders. It is with your support that AANP is able to work closely with federal policymakers to ensure access to and adequate coverage of NP services.
