What is a mid-level provider?
At Georgia Pediatric Pulmonology Associates we employ mid-level providers – pediatric nurse practitioners (PNP) or physician assistants (PA) – to assist with the care of our young patients. Each of these professionals is specifically trained in the care of infants and children with respiratory disease. They work closely with the pulmonologist in providing your child with comprehensive pulmonary care. The mid-level providers conduct follow-up visits as well as take weekend call and assist the physician in the care of our hospitalized patients. Just like the pulmonologists, the mid-level providers communicate with your primary care provider by sending a written summary of every follow-up visit.
