Nurse Practitioner Week

Aloha ‘Ohana!

This week is Nurse Practitioner Week across the nation. Nurse Practitioner Week takes place annually in the second week of November to recognize these incredible healthcare providers and raise awareness of the powerful role they play in ensuring general health and well-being. Can you believe that the nurse practitioner profession has been in existence for 56 years now? Nurse practitioners are highly educated and trained medical professionals who are almost like doctors. In addition to their fundamental roles as registered nurses, they can provide primary care, counseling, diagnosis, offer health education, and write prescriptions.

Mahalo to all of the highly skilled Nurse Practitioners out there. We appreciate all that you do!
