As GAPNA marks its 40th year, we want to share with you the projects we’re working on to support gerontological advanced practice nurses like you and build a better future for our patients.
GAPNA’s anniversary theme “Preserve the Past, Enhance the Present, and Secure the Future,” reflects our shared vision.
The goals of GAPNA are to advocate quality care for older adults, to promote professional development, to provide continuing gerontological education, and to enhance communication and professional collaboration among health care providers.
To support our mission, we will continue to endorse the APRN Gerontological Specialist Certification (GS-C) and Gerontology Nursing Certification Commission (GNCC) as they continue their efforts to validate the expertise in gerontology.
