Did you know NPs began practicing in the 1960s? ⁠
⁠
It came in response to increase the quality of health care in northern and underserved communities. ⁠
⁠
Our goal remains the same to this day, we are committed to providing timely access to high-quality, cost-effective care in a broad range of healthcare models. ⁠
⁠
Pictured above is NP Karen Scott in her graduation photo in 1965, she retired from practice in June 2016 after 41 years of service. We are grateful to all the NPs who have committed their career to providing quality health care across Canada. ⁠

Last week, our President Jennifer Mador from NPAA

Last week, our President Jennifer Mador from NPAA embarked on a journey across the province to engage with nurse practitioners at their clinics. ⁠
⁠
This road trip was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the launch of over 50 NP clinics throughout the province, with even more on the horizon! Here’s a glimpse into her travel experience. ⁠
⁠
We take great joy in witnessing NPs thrive in their clinics, serving the communities they call home. Keep an eye out for more exciting adventures ahead!⁠

The other week Jennifer Mador, President of the Nurse Practitioner Association of Alberta, joined Alberta's Health Minister, Adriana LaGrange to celebrate the opening of 50+ Nurse Practitioner Clinics across the province with more on the horizon. ⁠
⁠
Media members attended the Smyth clinic in Leduc which has been operating a family practice for over 70 years in the community. The announcement highlighted the new funding model that allows NPs to take on full patient loads within primary care practices in Alberta. ⁠
⁠
NPs can now work within integrated primary care centres or in their own clinics with a full scope of practice. The move is expected to help expand care to Albertans struggling to access primary care. ⁠

The Nurse Practitioner Association of Alberta respectfully acknowledges that our members live and work in the traditional territories of Indigenous people who have inhabited this land for over 500 generations. We respect and honour the treaties of Alberta including treaties 4, 6, 7, 8, and 10 that encompass the travelling routes, gathering places and meeting grounds for Indigenous peoples from over 45 First Nations communities and 8 Metis settlements.

As health care professionals, we look to the teachings of the medicine wheel that show us how the land provides all the requirements for mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being. We acknowledge the land that provides for us, and we recognise, honour, and give thanks to the stewards of the land who continue to teach us how to care for each other, ourselves, and this beautiful land that we share and call home.
