Dear UAPRN Members,

Happy National Nurse Practitioner Week!

As we celebrate this special week, I want to take a moment to recognize the remarkable contributions Nurse Practitioners make to healthcare each and every day. Your expertise, compassion, and commitment to patient care make a profound difference in the lives of individuals, families, and communities. You are not only healthcare providers but trusted partners, educators, and advocates who bring comfort and healing to those you serve.

In these challenging times, your dedication and resilience shine through. You continue to advance healthcare accessibility, deliver innovative care, and bridge gaps in underserved areas. Your work is vital and deeply respected, and I am proud to lead an organization committed to championing your role and amplifying your voice.

This week, let’s celebrate our profession, reflect on our achievements, and look toward an even brighter future for Nurse Practitioners. Please take a moment to recognize your own impact, share your stories, and feel inspired by the strength of our community.

With deep gratitude and appreciation,

Dr. Nancy A. Hurlock
President, United Advanced Practice Registered Nurses of Georgia (UAPRN)
