American Association of Nurse Practitioners Taps SevenTwenty Strategies and LAK to Strengthen Public and Policymaker Awareness of Nurse Practitioners

WASHINGTON, D.C. (PRWEB) February 05, 2015

The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) has signed SevenTwenty Strategies, an integrated public relations and public affairs agency, and LAK Public Relations to manage an integrated, national multi-media campaign for the AANP, which launched Feb. 1. The campaign, “NPs: 50 Years of Leading the Charge,” is aimed at strengthening public and policymaker awareness of the critical role nurse practitioners (NPs) play in delivering high-quality, affordable and accessible health care to millions of Americans.

“We want to ensure that every patient has direct access to the full scope of care that NPs can provide,” said AANP Chief Executive Officer Dave Hebert. “NPs are highly-skilled professionals who have the education and clinical training necessary to meet the nation’s growing demand for patient-centered, accessible, high-quality health care.”

The campaign, “NPs: 50 Years of Leading the Charge,” also highlights the 50th anniversary of the NP degree program. It will leverage earned media, broadcast television spots on CNN New Day, Fox and Friends, Good Morning America, Ellen and more, talk radio, and in-person events. AANP’s television and radio ads will encourage consumers to visit NPFinder.com to locate an NP in their community.

“AANP is truly leading the charge for patients to gain access to the outstanding care nurse practitioners provide. We are proud to support the Association’s efforts by expanding the nation’s awareness of nurse practitioners in communities nationwide,” said Pam Fielding, President and Founder of SevenTwenty Strategies.

The American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) is the largest professional membership organization for nurse practitioners (NPs) of all specialties. It represents the interests of more than 205,000 NPs, including approximately 57,000 individual members and 200 organizations, providing a unified networking platform and advocating for their role as providers of high-quality, cost-effective, comprehensive, patient-centered and personalized health care. The organization provides legislative leadership at the local, state and national levels, advancing health policy; promoting excellence in practice, education and research; and establishing standards that best serve NP patients and other health care consumers.
