Who Are Nurse Practitioners (NP)?

Nurse practitioners (NPs) are advanced practice registered nurses and are integral to the U.S. healthcare system. Today, NPs are mainstream providers in all sectors of health including primary and specialty care. NPs diagnose, treat, and prescribe across a wide range of health conditions to all populations across the lifespan and take a true patient-centered approach to care. Focusing on health promotion, education, and counseling as well as disease prevention, NPs partner with their patients to make better health decisions. There are an estimated 222,000 NPs across the United States and Massachusetts has approximately 7,240. NPs care for millions of patients annually and have a 50-year history, validated with numerous patient outcome studies, of providing high quality, personalized care resulting in high levels of patient satisfaction.
