It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of the passing of TNP Member Kim Oas. Kim was a dear friend, colleague, and mother, and someone who left an indelible mark on her profession.

Kim was a charter member of Texas Nurse Practitioners and served on the TNP Board of Directors from 2001-2014. She served on a variety of TNP committees and was a frequent speaker at TNP Conferences. In the words of her obituary, “Kim brought a special gift to nursing and touched all those she mentored and supported in a way that will never be forgotten."

A memorial service was held on Saturday, April 27 at 2pm at the Trinity Church, Natchitoches, Louisiana. Memorial donations may be made to Texas Nurse Practitioner Foundation (TNPF) with a memo “Kim Oas Memorial” and mailed to 4425 S. Mopac Expressway, Building 3, Suite 405 Austin TX 78735.
