National Initiative Fund (NIF)
Several years ago, AAPS established the National Initiative Fund (NIF) which is an arm of AAPS that focuses solely on representing the interests of its Diplomates and members before U.S. Congress, state legislatures, state and federal courts, state medical boards, insurance companies, hospitals, health plans and hospital systems.
NIF is funded solely by donations from its Diplomates and members to further their legislative and legal interests.
The AAPS Board of Directors is grateful to Dr. Joe Gallagher for the outstanding work as NIF Chairman.
In addition, the AAPS Board of Directors acknowledges the following Diplomates and Members for their generous financial supportĀ which continues to significantly impact the success of this program.
