Message from the VP of Policy
Lisa Pair, VP of Policy | Here is the latest reminders related to our purpose: Optimizing access to care for the citizens of AL with NPs. Upcoming Annual Conference: The NPAA team is in full swing preparing for our yearly gathering. We are excited to announce that, just like last year, we will have videographers on-site to capture brief 1–2-minute clips featuring practicing NPs. We are calling on all attendees who are eager to be a part of this initiative to join us in this endeavor. It is a fantastic chance to represent our profession, and we encourage you to dress professionally and share your insights on camera. Things to share: · Your name and type of NP · The type of practice where you work: outpatient ob/gyn, outpatient primary care, urgent care, inpatient where? · City or town where you practice · The type of patients you serve (how many patients you see/week or year) · Share a patient experience where you were effective in their life. · We appreciate your support for practicing NPs. We serve because we care. Fostering legislative connections remains a top priority for us, and we are committed to cultivating our relationships with lawmakers. If your local representative is a health committee member, please contact me and together we can raise the profile of Nurse Practitioners and advocate for our essential role in healthcare and patient access. To streamline our advocacy efforts, we are using VoterVOICE exclusively for legislative actions. Ensure your NPAA profile has your correct cell phone number to receive timely updates during sessions. With just one click on the red “TAKE ACTION” button, you can access pre-drafted emails or phone scripts for communication with legislators. |
