Nurse practitioners are a proven solution to making this a reality for Pennsylvania patients and full practice authority legislation is a proven solution to making this happen NOW.

NPs carry out life saving diagnoses, treatment of chronic conditions, and preventative interventions at Convenient Care Clinics on a daily basis." – Mike Clark, Policy Director of the Convenient Care Association #CareForPA #NursePractitioners #FullPracticeAuthority #AccessToCare #ConvenientCareClinics #PatientCare
