“The work our APPs do each day is critical to the success of our organization,” said Suzanne Wenderoth, MD, Chief Medical Officer at Tower Health. “They are dedicated to their patients and are true partners who work across the organization to continue to enhance the level of care we provide. It is an honor to celebrate this recognition week and acknowledge the expertise they provide. I thank them for all they do.”
This recognition coincides with the celebration of National Advanced Practice Provider Week from Sept. 25 to Sept. 29. This week honors the contribution of the health system’s Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists, Clinical Nurse Specialists, and Certified Nurse-Midwives. This important group of providers elevates the fields of medicine and nursing to ensure our most vulnerable populations receive high-quality, evidence-based care.
“This year’s national theme is ‘APPsolute Excellence.’ This is a fitting theme for the amazing team of APPs we have at Tower Health,” said Amanda McNicholas, DNP, MBA, CRNP, Tower Health’s Chief Advanced Practice Provider Officer, and Reading Hospital Vice President, Orthopedics, Trauma, and Critical Care Services. “This is an exciting opportunity to celebrate and raise awareness about the growing role of APPs in healthcare.”
