“Stephen is the consummate professional. His ability to think strategically about the future growth of his organization has provided opportunities for this organization to grow and the public's impression of nurse practitioners to improve. His skill set includes a keen understanding of state and federal policy affecting his profession and how to position lawmakers and shareholders to make meaningful enhancements to the day to day functioning of nurse practitioners. Stephen understands that strong association service starts and ends with positive, local member experience, and he works diligently to support his growing membership on an individual and small group basis in a professional manner. It has been my privilege to work with him for many years. ”

Support for Clinical NP Involvement in Policy Making
The Journal for Nurse Practitioners
NPs still fill essential gaps, but we also fill needs in a multitude of subspecialized environments. None of what we know today as advanced nursing practice would have been possible if NP leaders had not been fighting all along for regulatory and policy changes amenable to establishing and building our practices. But if all politics are local, we must ask ourselves the question, should policy matters be left to a few skilled and savvy NP leaders? Can we all be involved in shaping the regulatory…

The 2023 Health Care Power 100
City and State New York
Health care is both a deeply personal affair and a matter of paramount importance on a societal scale, as the coronavirus pandemic has made clear. It’s no surprise, then, that policy decisions governing the delivery of health care – how it’s paid for, who has access to it, which illnesses and ailments are considered to be top priorities – generate so much debate, even as the key players share a common goal of healing the sick and saving lives.

It’s no surprise, then, that policy decisions governing the delivery of health care – how it’s paid for, who has access to it, which illnesses and ailments are considered to be top priorities – generate so much debate, even as the key players share a common goal of healing the sick and saving lives.
City & State’s Health Care Power 100 sheds light on these decision-makers in the medical world in New York, including prominent public officials, influential hospital and health care executives, heads of other nonprofit providers, union leaders, academics and an array of advocates and activists who take their case to Albany and at City Hall. The 2023 ranking takes into account the legislative victories, labor battles, newly launched initiatives and other noteworthy developments from the past 12 months. We’re pleased to introduce this year’s Health Care Power 100. https://www.cityandstateny.com/power-lists/2023/01/2023-health-care-power-100/381744/ -
