We employ nearly 400 advanced practice nurses (APNs) and physician assistants (PAs). APNs include certified registered nurse practitioners (CNP), clinical nurse specialists (CNS), certified nurse midwives (CNM), and certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNA).
Most of our advanced practice providers hold master’s degrees or doctorates, and are board certified to practice at an advanced level by a national certifying organization.
APNs and PAs are granted a certificate of authority by the Ohio Board of Nursing or Medicine, and are credentialed and granted privileges by the Medical Staff Board at Akron Children’s, where they serve as members of the medical staff.
From our outpatient departments and inpatient hospital and intensive care units, to more than 70 primary care offices, Akron Children’s APNs and PAs are working to deliver high quality patient care.
While we are ranked among the best children's hospitals in the country, it's our compassionate approach to treatment that makes us truly exceptional. Through a combination of revolutionary treatments and extraordinary patient experiences, our care does more than heal. It brings the entire family together for emotional support and understanding across multiple locations to reach you in the community where you live. Learn more...
