Advocacy Support
Federal- and state-level legislation has a direct impact on the nurse practitioner (NP) role — and the patients NPs serve. That’s why the American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) government affairs team represents NPs and their patients on critical issues related to licensure, access to care, patient safety, health care reform, reimbursement and other concerns. AANP members are a vital part of The Voice of the Nurse Practitioner®, strengthening the association’s representation of NPs and patients on critical issues.
