Advanced Practice Provider Executive Council (APPEC)
- The Advanced Practice Provider Executive Council (APPEC) functions as a professional governance entity within Summa Health System (SHS), guiding and supporting Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) through a structured framework that encourages professional identity and accountability at all levels. The Council is dedicated to the consistent delivery of high-quality, safe, and effective care by APPs.
