Member Forum Summary
On November 19, 2025, NAVAPD hosted a virtual event, bringing together members and organizational leaders for an open and engaging discussion.
During the session, participants heard a comprehensive update on NAVAPD’s work over the past year from President Dr. Joseph Abate, along with presentations detailing key developments, including the anesthesia situation in Minneapolis, the continued expansion of community care, and progress on the Oracle EHR system.
The meeting also offered members a valuable opportunity to engage directly with President Abate and the Board of Directors—asking questions, sharing perspectives, and connecting with the leaders who guide NAVAPD’s mission.
