Pennsylvania Coalition of Nurse Practitioners

The Pennsylvania Coalition of Nurse Practitioners (PCNP) is the state organization dedicated to advancing, supporting and promoting the role of nurse practitioners.

PCNP protects the practice of more than 12,400 certified registered nurse practitioners (CRNPs) in Pennsylvania.

Formed in the 1980s by just three forward thinking NPs, PCNP now has more than 2,000 active members across the Commonwealth in 17 regional groups, which provide educational and networking opportunities.

The organization strives to improve communications among nurse practitioners, other healthcare professionals, healthcare organizations and the community by providing continuing education programs, fostering networking and professional development, and advocating for affordable, accessible healthcare.
