Welcome to our Site!
Governor Tate Reeves recognized the countless contributions Nurse Practitioners (NPs) have made over the past half-century and will continue to make on behalf of the health and well-being of citizens of our state by signing the Nurse Practitioner Week Proclamation on October 17th. The Proclamation declares the critical role of Nurse Practitioners as trusted healthcare providers for patients throughout the State of Mississippi. Nurse Practitioners are vital members of the healthcare teams that work to expand healthcare services while emphasizing health promotion, disease prevention, health education, counseling, and improving health outcomes for all. Nurse Practitioners are highly skilled practitioners with advanced education and clinical training. Nurse Practitioners play a pivotal role in the health and welfare of communities throughout the state. The confidence that patients have in NP-delivered healthcare is evidenced by the more than 1 billion visits made annually to NPs across the nation. More than five decades of research demonstrate the high quality of care provided by NPs. Increased utilization of NPs can promote public health through a more accessible, efficient, cost-effective, and high-quality healthcare system. Join us and over 7800 Nurse Practitioners in Mississippi as we celebrate Nurse Practitioner Week November 10-16.
The first and only state association devoted entirely to nurse practitioners!
