Advanced Practice Providers (APPs), including physician assistants and nurse practitioners, are critical to our healthcare system. By combining diagnostic care and clinical research experiences, these providers help elevate the fields of medicine and nursing to ensure patients and communities receive safe, high-quality, evidence-based care.
We know first-hand the difference these providers can have because we are proud to be led by one.
Our CEO, Sasa Harriott, is a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. Her clinical experience and background has shaped the evidence-based care model we use every day: one that looks beyond wounds and diagnoses to ask why things are the way they are.
It’s why we ask questions like:
✔️ What makes this patient’s situation unique?
✔️ Does the patient have the food, safe housing, and support system they need?
✔️ What barriers stand in the way of long-term recovery?
This National APP Week, we celebrate not only our own leadership but the thousands of APPs across the country whose expertise, compassion, and advocacy make healthcare safer, more equitable, and more effective.
