Seasons Greetings,

As we round out the year, we often have a little more time to spend with our loved ones, a little more time for things we enjoy, and a little more time to reflect and plan for the new year.

How did 2022 impact you?

You may have felt the pressures of the healthcare system this year, with COVID continuing to take its toll. You may have lost sight of purpose, passion, or value somewhere along the way. So, let's reflect and reset.

This year you inspired future generations of PAs, aspired and put in work to become PAs, advocated for the profession, explored growth opportunities, laughed and cried with patients, and have been the face of hope and health to patients who've crossed your path.

I hope you take a moment to give yourself grace, give yourself credit, and acknowledge the dedication and sacrifice you put forth this year. The work you do is not easy but is rewarding beyond words.

I hope you are as kind to yourself as you are to others. I challenge you to practice gratitude every day and I encourage you to reach out for help if needed.

The Nevada Academy of PAs is your professional community. We're planning fun and memorable events this coming year, so stay tuned and join in!

May you and your loved ones have good physical and mental health, meaningful relationships, and joy. You are the impact!

Happy New Year!
