Chapter Advocacy Updates

NAPNAP recently organized a lobbying event in Washington D.C., where nurse practitioners and pediatric nurses directly engaged with legislators to advocate for crucial pediatric programs. During the event, pediatric nurses lobbied for increased funding for child food programs, nursing education and vaccination initiatives, aiming to secure inclusion in the country's 2024 budget. The eChapter consistently offers assistance to a pediatric-focused organization annually in the city hosting the NAPNAP conference. Additionally, the group supports not-for-profit organizations that offer care and aid to children and families during times of crisis. Historically, the eChapter has actively donated to organizations providing relief in disaster-stricken areas.
