Advanced Practice Providers Are an Integral Part of IHVI's Team
April 6, 2022 Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) have been an integral part of IHVI’s team for more than four decades. The first physician assistant hired in Virginia came to work with the IHVI cardiac surgical team in 1977, and there has been subsequent growth and expansion to include APPs working throughout IHVI, as part of the multidisciplinary care teams, to transform care delivery. Highlights Include: More than 100 APPs – both nurse practitioners and physician assistants – working at all five IHVI hospitals and in many of our outpatient settings.
