The Nurse Practitioner Association New York State (The NPA) is a nonprofit organization based in Clifton Park, New York, founded in 1980 to support nurse practitioners and strengthen healthcare standards in the state. It aims to advance education, advocacy, leadership, and the empowerment of nurse practitioner practice to improve care and raise the profession's visibility within the healthcare system and government. The NPA serves nurse practitioners and other stakeholders in New York, working to remove barriers to practice and ensure access to culturally competent, high-quality care delivered by NPs at the top of their licensure. As part of its nonprofit mission, it maintains a small to mid-sized team focused on these objectives and pursues initiatives to benefit members and the public. A notable recent development is the 2023 launch of the NPA Educational Scholarship program, created in collaboration with the Houston International Trade Development Council and the NPA Scholarship Committee.
