Texas: The Austin NAPNAP Chapter (TANC) was established in order to contribute to the advancement, support and promotion of the role of Pediatric Nurse Practitioners in the greater Austin area. We believe that Pediatric Nurse Practitioners offer an invaluable contribution to the pediatric healthcare community. We seek to enhance the quality of the profession and, thus, the quality of pediatric healthcare across Central Texas. We offer educational dinners, career networking opportunities, community service, student mentorship and opportunities for political activism to all of our members.
