One of the big problems confronting NPs is our inability to order home health care for patients. Susan Chaney, Texas State Representative for AANP, has prepared a letter with information on the four key representatives, a sample letter to write them, and talking points to help us better understand the issue and present our case. The letters are very important for the cause. Fellow NPs, please take some time to get familiar with this issue and help make our voice be heard!
