The Networking/Public Education Committee was established to keep the membership informed regarding issues impacting on health care at the local, state and national levels and to aide in the recognition of Advanced Practice Nurses (APN) among the public and other health care providers. It is our goal to further educate and convey the role of an Advanced Practice Nurse in the medical profession and in the community. David LaFevers is the chairman of the networking committee.
As the future roles of Advanced Practice Nurses evolve, it is our responsibility to build collaborative relationships with administrators and other health care professionals to promote our effectiveness and quality of our profession. Our future is rich with possibilities and we possess the knowledge and expertise to be instrumental in promoting our profession. You can contact David at wdlafevers@gmail.com.
