ACTION ALERT !!!!!

HB 602 - Hearing Tuesday, February 2nd at 9:30M.

Yesterday, NHNPA joined other healthcare associations in expressing opposition to HB157 while attending the legislative hearing.  To learn more about HB157, click here. 

NHNPA is seeking volunteers for two different Regional Coordinator positions: the Upper Valley and North Country. This is a great way to network within your region and serve the statewide association.  

The role of the Regional Coordinator is to champion the practice of NPs in their region by demonstrating values of integrity, excellence, leadership, respect and service to NPs in New Hampshire. Regional coordinators are non-voting members of the Board of Directors and are invited to participate in Board meetings and retreats. The regional coordinators also meet on a quarterly basis as a team (virtually). They participate in efforts to increase membership, coordinate regional activities to offer networking opportunities and educational events to support local NPs throughout the year. Regional events will vary. We have some seen some very creative ideas: book/article discussions, potlucks, dinner out, industry-sponsored dinners with presentations from drug reps at local restaurants, virtual meet and greets, webinars and more!  

Per the request of NH DHHS, please continue to help distribute the information below to ambulatory and other health care professionals.

The guidance enclosed below, from NH DHHS is for “Most-Risk” ambulatory care and health care professionals working in other settings who can now register to be vaccinated against COVID-19.  This guidance will be the focus of discussion at next Tuesday’s, Dec. 29, NH COVID-19 Vaccine Alliance Meeting from 12 noon -1 pm.

Please plan to join us for our NP Week VIRTUAL celebration.  It will be a fun evening of networking, learning and celebrating.  We will have our 2020 awards ceremony, a keynote address and offer a variety of opportunities to network with other NPs and our exhibitors. There will be a $10 registration fee.
