NPWH Fellows Program (FNPWH)

It is with great excitement and pride that I announce the launch of the Fellows of the National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women’s Health (FNPWH) program. This prestigious initiative recognizes the exceptional contributions of certified Women’s Health Nurse Practitioners (WHNPs) who have advanced the field of women’s and gender-related healthcare through clinical expertise, research, education, advocacy, and mentorship.

Applications are now open and will be accepted through March 31, 2025, at 11:59 pm ET.

The inaugural FNPWH class will be celebrated at the 28th Annual Women’s Healthcare Conference in Las Vegas, (October 1-3, 2025) where we will honor these distinguished leaders who embody excellence and innovation in the WHNP-BC profession. This program reflects NPWH’s unwavering commitment to recognizing and elevating certified WHNPs' vital role in improving women's health outcomes and driving transformative care.

I would like to extend my deepest gratitude to the incredible FNPWH Planning Committee, whose dedication and hard work made this program a reality. Special thanks to:

I encourage you to stay tuned as we prepare to honor our inaugural class and highlight their remarkable achievements. This is a milestone moment for NPWH, and I am thrilled to share it with all of you.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to advancing women’s and gender-related healthcare. Together, we are shaping the future of the WHNP-BC profession!
