Nurse Practitioners from across Michigan took to the Hill to advocate for Full Practice Authority — because patients deserve timely, accessible care without outdated barriers.
The evidence is clear: NPs provide safe, high‑quality care.
It’s time for policy to reflect reality and expand access for the communities we serve.

Join us in Lansing on June 4th for Advocacy Day.
This is an opportunity to stand alongside NPs, healthcare advocates, and community members from across the state of Michigan to engage directly with legislators and share the importance of full practice authority. Your voice plays a critical role in shaping healthcare policy, and your presence truly makes a difference.
This event will count for 3 CEUs.
Don’t forget to bring your white lab coat so you can join us for a group photo at Heritage Hall.
We encourage you to be part of this important day of advocacy with NPs from across Michigan. We look forward to standing with you.

Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

As we gather with family and friends this Memorial Day, we pause to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy because of those who served.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful Memorial Day. 🇺🇸
