NAP is a practitioner-created, practitioner-run public benefit corporation dedicated to protecting practitioners, ensuring optimal patient care, and fighting back against predatory systems that harm both practitioners and patients.

It was formed out of necessity. With the healthcare space now being targeted by venture capital now combining with the insatiable greed of the for-profit health insurance system, we need a way to fight back to save what we do from being twisted into something we don't recognize. The goal is to create a clear, organized response to profit-first forces that corrupt care, make fair pay impossible, and exploit practitioners' good will for profit.

NAP is for healthcare practitioners, allied professionals, and community partners. Anyone who understands the absolute value in mounting an organized defense of good care and a sustainable healthcare system.

NAP is organized as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). This allows us the freedom to put the mission first. We keep the mission centered on practitioner-led strategy, direct action, public education, and services that improve everyday practice.

Legally, to be considered a non-profit, the necessary organizational structure is far too vulnerable to attacks from well-established industries and venture capital's lawyers. As a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC), we are structured to be able to win the fight we're picking. This will be crucial to our success in the long-term. The trade-off is, of course, trust is harder to build. For that, we are committed to unparallelled transparency for our members who will always know what we're doing and why. In addition, we are committed to running the corporate side very much like a co-op.

We do things differently, from how we're organized, to how we allocate resources. NAP is technically a for-profit company, but that's where the similarities end. Because we're a for-public-benefit corporation, we don't ever have to be concerned with profit. We do want to provide those who work for us with a living wage, so everyone who works for NAP, including the CEO, will receive the same pay. It will be calculated based on a fixed % of revenue divided by the number of employees. Whether to hire another team member is therefore up to everyone. All other revenue will go toward growing our community, serving members, and advocacy. NAP is not here to make money for shareholders, but to make life better for as many people as possible. We do that by serving our member practitioners by aggressively and steadfastly fighting on their behalf while providing the services we all need to continue healing the public.

We focus on policy and legal action, member services, practitioner protection, community mobilization, and public education.

Advocacy and services are best when they move together. We recognize that the only way to accomplish our mission is to push on all fronts, all at once, with everything we have. Advocacy, both through public education and lobbying lawmakers needs to be combined with removing our money from the systems built to exploit us. We have to do both to win.

Join our community, enjoy the benefits of membership, and look for the focus area that best matches your experience or interests. If that group doesn't exist yet, you can start it.

We look at concrete changes like laws on the books, improved reimbursement, fewer audits and claw backs, member satisfaction, and a stronger sense of security for practitioners.

Awareness matters, but it is not enough. The mission is to create real shifts in the conditions practitioners face every day.

A successful NAP means a transformed national landscape of healthcare. One in which practitioners no longer feel demoralized by the sting of exploitation and enshitification and instead feel in control of their own lives and professional paths.
