The Colorado Rocky Mountain Chapter of NAPNAP was founded in 1983. We are committed to improving the health of children and adolescents in our region, from the inner cities to the rural farmlands. We do this through health care delivery, education and advocacy for our patients and their families. This is accomplished by insuring that we as nurse practitioners are prepared for this challenge through continuing education, networking with each other and participating in the legislative process to maximize our expertise in pediatric health care and safeguard our practice.
