Your voice at the Capitol can save lives. Everyone in the health care industry – from insurance companies, hospitals, and pharmaceutical companies – is at the Capitol. But WE are the only ones who will advocate for nurses and for our patients.
- Visit your legislators and build a relationship as their resource on nursing and health care issues.
- Protect the nursing practice from legislation that threatens the independence and authority of our profession.
- Stand up for all of us on Main Street. Elected officials need to hear how our families and our patients are being hurt by the greed and wrongdoing of corporate America.
