National APP Week 2026
"There's no way to explain this to someone outside healthcare." - That's exactly what we want.
No scripts. No filters. No pretending everything runs smoothly. We want the real stories - the moments you don't document, the quick fixes, the near misses.
If it made an impact on you, it will make an impact on someone else.
This important group of providers elevates the fields of medicine and nursing to ensure our patients and communities receive safe, high-quality, evidence-based care. We utilize this week to celebrate the hard work of these professionals.
We raise awareness of the unique roles APPs play in healthcare. From primary care to specialized medicine, APPs are integral to delivering comprehensive patient care across the nation.
National Advanced Practice Provider Week exists to formally recognize, elevate, and advance the essential role of APPs across the healthcare system. From diagnosis and treatment to leadership, research, and innovation, APPs are critical to patient outcomes and system-wide excellence.
