Chattanooga is an area known for its majestic mountains, flowing rivers, and many bridges.  The arc of aqua-blue color symbolizes these features.  As Nurse Practitioners (or other APN’s) we aim to bridge the gap in health care to provide the community with accessible and safe wellness-focused care.  The arc also symbolizes unity.  We are a unified group of professionals purposed to keep abreast on the latest education to provide the best and safest practice and to be unified in awareness to changes of our profession.

We have developed this website to keep APN’s aware of current events and news.  We post our newsletter towards the beginning of the month prior to the regular monthly meetings which are held primarily the third Tuesday of each month, save November and December in which we generally choose the second Tuesday.  We encourage members to check the site frequently for interim updates such as extra meetings, legislation or other issues, employment opportunities, and directory access as needed. One can join by filling out and emailing the interactive application.  Pay membership dues to the treasurer by mailing your check or choose the option to pay securely on-line by using your credit card.
