NCCGAPNA is the Northern California chapter of the Gerontological Advanced Practice Nurses Association (GAPNA).  GAPNA is a national organization whose mission is to promote high standards of health care for older adults through advanced gerontological nursing practice, education, and research.  Each year GAPNA hosts a national conference to provide continuing education in the latest trends in clinical practice, health policy, and health delivery systems relevant to advanced practice gerontological nurses.  The conference also provides a forum for exchange of ideas and clinical experience with expert faculty and colleagues. 

This year, the Annual Conference will be held in person, from September 29th until October 2nd, 2021 at the Marriott Marquis in San Diego, CA.  More information on this year’s conference is available at https://www.gapna.org.
