Tribute to Dr. Loretta C. Ford

Dr. Loretta Ford envisioned a better health care system. Along with Dr. Henry Silver, she developed the first nurse practitioner (NP) program in 1965. Now 102 years old, Ford continues to inspire! When the American Association of Nurse Practitioners® (AANP) asked other NPs how Ford impacted their lives, there was an overwhelming response. AANP is honored to pay tribute to a living legend. Her message and life will continue to motivate NPs for generations to come. Learn more about the history of the NP role at www.aanp.org/h....
