3. Expand Networking and Professional Connection Opportunities
Organize structured and informal networking opportunities to foster mentorship, peer support, cross-specialty collaboration, and professional growth among APPs across UCSF
4. Increase APP Engagement and Representation in UCSF Wellness Initiatives

APP Wellness Committee Jonathan Pascual (JP) Wellbeing Gift
The Office of Advanced Practice Providers and the APP Wellness Committee are excited to support and strengthen APP well-being through the APP Wellness Gift. This opportunity is part of the Jonathan Pascual Wellbeing Gift, created in honor of Jonathan—a UCSF NP whose dedication to patient care, athletics and living well have left a lasting impact on the APP community.
The JP Wellbeing Gift is designed to help bring APPs together through meaningful, inclusive group wellness activities. It’s a chance to connect, recharge, and build community in ways that support both personal and professional well-being.
Eligible APPs (NP, PA, CNM, CRNA) are encouraged to apply. Selected applicants will receive reimbursement of up to $200, in accordance with standard university daily maximum guidelines. To ensure broad participation, each department may receive only one gift per calendar year.
Application deadlines: First Friday of January, April, July, and October by 5:00pm PST
Please note that incomplete or late applications will not be considered.
Funds must be used within four months of approval.
Applicants will be notified of decisions via email by the third Monday of February, May, August, and November. If selected, recipients will receive instructions for submitting receipts, which must be completed within 25 days after the activity.
We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in your well-being and strengthen connections within your APP community
