This week WCCHC joins health systems across the country in celebrating National Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Week, September 22–26.

APPs include Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Midwives, and Certified Anesthesiologist Assistants. These highly trained professionals are licensed to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage illnesses, prescribe medications, perform clinical procedures, and lead research that advances patient care.

At WCCHC, our APPs are vital members of the care team. Our Nurse Practitioners (NPs) play a vital role throughout WCCHC, caring for patients in primary care clinics, school-based health centers, walk-in clinics, behavioral health, and specialty care services. Our Physician Assistants (PAs) are an integral part of our Emergency Department (ER) team, providing urgent, life-saving care when it matters most.

Mahalo to our APPs for the expertise, compassion, and dedication they bring every day to our patients and community.
