National Physician Assistants (PA) Week occurs each year as a way to showcase the profession and its contribution to the nation's health.
The American Academy of Physician Associates (Assistants) (AAPA) is celebrating in 2023 with their "Go Beyond!" campaign raising awareness of how PAs "go beyond" the general scope of healthcare practice:
- Leading with experience and expertise: every PA student completes 2,000 hours of clinical rotations
- Listening with compassion: PAs ensure patients feel heard and respected
- Empowering patients with personalized, quality care: PAs provide essential preventative care to ensure an improved lifestyle for patients
- Strengthening the core of the healthcare system: PAs fill the gap by providing quality healthcare, especially with a rapidly growing population
At PLHS we are lucky to have ten (10) excellent PAs in our family that "Go Beyond!" for our patients by providing exceptional care and service each and everyday:
National Nurse Practitioner week is November 12-18, 2023 - be on the look out as we celebrate all of our wonderful APPs.
