About the NPADC

The Nurse Practitioner Association of the District of Columbia (NPADC) was founded in 1971 and represents the interests of all nurse practitioners in the area without regard to specialization. This non-profit organization serves as a forum for networking and lobbying on common concerns, ideas and issues affecting nurse practitioners in today’s health care arena. The organization facilitates communication among its members by presenting regularly scheduled Continuing Education programs on topics pertinent to nurse practitioner practice, representing the members locally and nationally in the American College of Nurse Practitioners (ACNP) and providing legislative alerts. A bi-monthly newsletter is published and sent to member with specifics about meetings, board activities and other areas of interest to today’s nurse practitioner.

Our organization is growing and needs the support and input of each member as we strengthen our association and make it more beneficial to all. Contact information for the Executive Board is on the Board webpage.
