Legislative News



 

Do you know your state legislators? 

Each NP should identify and contact his/her legislators to address issues concerning health care and our profession.  If you do not know your legislators, they can easily be found *here*.


Legislators may not be knowledgeable of our roles and the health care we provide to our patients.  They need to be educated. A letter or phone call is all it takes to educate them on our role and the vital work we do.
