Western New York NAPNAP  (WNY NAPNAP) serves the Buffalo Niagara region of New York.  Established in 1989, this chapter is a professional organization whose mission is to promote the optimal health for children through leadership, practice, advocacy, education and research. 


With more than 8,000 members, the National Association of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners (NAPNAP) is the professional association for pediatric nurse practitioners (PNPs) and all pediatric-focused advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs). Established in 1973, we were the first professional society for nurse practitioners and remain the only national organization dedicated to both advancing the APRN role and improving the quality of health care for infants, children and adolescents. Our esteemed members include national child health experts, respected authors, distinguished faculty and practicing clinicians who represent many facets of pediatric health care delivery.
