The term nurse practitioner may seem like something new but the reality is that nurse practitioners have been providing health care to under served communities since the 1960's
Who Are PNPs?
Pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) are advanced practice healthcare providers dedicated to improving children’s health in primary care, as well as specialty and acute care settings.
We have been providing quality health care to children and families for over 40 years in an extensive range of practice settings, such as pediatric offices, specialty clinics, school-based health care settings and hospitals, reaching millions of patients across the country each year.
PNPs and other pediatric advanced practice nurses (APRNs) spend significant one-on-one time with patients and families to answer their questions and discuss any concerns they may have.
