A Message From the Pediatrics Community Co-chairs

Stacia Hays, DNP, APRN, CNE, CCTC, FAANP

Pediatrics Community Co-Chair

Laura Searcy, MN, RN, APRN, PPCNP-BC, FAANP

I am so pleased to welcome you to our AANP Pediatric Community. Annie and I are thrilled to co-chair this forum and help create a space where we can all connect, share and learn.

I am a veteran PNP from the Atlanta, Georgia area with experience in pediatric primary care and hospital based newborn care. My practice over the years has diversified to include professional and child health policy and advocacy, child and adolescent injury prevention, substance use prevention, tobacco prevention and suicide prevention. I was also a three-term elected member of the Cobb County Board of Education and have served on several non-profit boards. I am privileged to be a past-president (2016-2017) of the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners and an AANP Fellow.

We look forward to creating a space of warmth, welcome and mutual support so we can all grow together in our ability to positively impact the health and well-being of our nation’s young people.
