Keeping “PEARL” at the Forefront as NPs Look to the Future in Health Care

Our light, our voice, and our strength as nurse practitioners (NPs) shine brighter than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic has been fraught with tragedy and challenge, but NPs have led the way, caring for patients and families, and providing innovative solutions to care at every turn. Over and over again, they have stepped up to lead throughout one of the most poignant times in our history. Your compassion, collaboration and commitment to excellent care has shined. I am deeply grateful to the many NPs who have served throughout the pandemic, from the beginning with mass COVID-19 testing, to the inpatient areas where patients and families were experiencing a health crisis like never before, and today with mass vaccinations throughout all communities everywhere.
