Advocacy Issues

Advocacy for healthcare reform that focuses on transforming the nation’s system into a patient-centered environment that improves access to high-quality, cost-effective care.

Advocacy to increase appropriations for the Nursing Workforce Development Programs (Title VIII, Public Health Service Act), which have supported the supply and distribution of professional nurses for over six decades.

Advocacy for federal legislation that improves and advances nursing practice, education, and research.

**Due to the wide spectrum of issues impacting nursing and health care, the Nursing Community works collaboratively and allows organizations to choose which initiatives they would like to support. Though we have broad-based consensus on many issues, not every nursing organization chooses to sign every letter or document.
