National Nurse Practitioner Week is an annual observance that celebrates the vital role of nurse practitioners (NPs) in healthcare. NPs are advanced practice nurses trained to diagnose, treat, and manage various health conditions, often serving as primary care providers. This week highlights their contributions to improving patient access, quality care, and health outcomes, particularly in underserved communities. It also recognizes their dedication, expertise, and the critical role they play in the healthcare system. The celebration encourages appreciation for NPs and awareness of the important services they provide to ensure healthier communities.
