Pennsylvania Coalition of Nurse Practitioners

The Pennsylvania Coalition of Nurse Practitioners (PCNP) is a non-profit organization based in Wilkinsburg, Pennsylvania. The organization employs 5 to 9 individuals and generates an estimated $2.5 million in annual revenue. PCNP was founded in the 1980s with a mission to advocate for and support Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners (CRNPs) in Pennsylvania. PCNP serves over 10,700 CRNPs across the state through its network of 18 regional groups. These groups provide networking opportunities and representation on the PCNP Executive Board, which convenes quarterly to discuss issues and set organizational priorities. The organization works to promote the practice of CRNPs and protect their interests through legislative advocacy and educational initiatives. A key aspect of PCNP's work is its government relations efforts. The organization employs a dedicated Government Relations Specialist who represents PCNP's interests in Harrisburg, advocating for policies that support CRNP practice. PCNP also offers resources and support to its members, including continuing education opportunities and information on current healthcare issues.
