WellStar’s Advance Practice Professionals (APPs) team has established a Leadership Council whose goals include professional excellence, educational advancement and improved communication. The Leadership Council is comprised of three sub-committees: community service, communications and professional practice.
Our APP team is comprised of physicians’ assistants, nurse practitioners, mental health clinical nurse specialists, certified registered nurse anesthetists and certified nurse midwives.
As of June 30, 2012, there were 483 APPs Systemwide, and of those, 320 are privileged at WellStar Kennestone Hospital.
APPs perform various clinical functions throughout the System, including assessing and diagnosing; conducting physical examinations; monitoring patient status; educating and counseling patients; and consulting and collaborating with, and referring to, other providers. They may be found in every department and specialty area.
