April 12, 2017

Join us in Santa Fe Friday, May 12th to celebrate National Nurses Week with nurses from around the state as we partner with the American Nurses Association in celebration of this year’s theme: Nursing: The Balance of Mind, Body, Spirit.

Keynote speaker, ANA President, Pam Cipriano, will speak directly to the national movement, Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation, that is gaining in strength and momentum putting the health and well-being of nurses front and center of safe, ethical patient care.

New Mexico's own Dr. Barbara Dossey, RN,  a special guest speaker, will be sharing her expertise on Florence Nightingale and the legacy of nursing applied to Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation.

The five domains of Healthy Nurse, Healthy Nation: Nutrition, Safety, Rest, Physical Activity and Quality of Life,  provide us with lenses through which to view and navigate, not only our health as nurses, but also our well-being as human beings. This becomes an imperative as we strive to live fully in the face of a changing health care system and world.

Important ANA Updates Regarding Affordable Care Act

April 9, 2017

Following their failure to hold a vote on the American Health Care Act (AHCA), a fundamentally flawed bill that, according to CBO estimates, would cause millions to lose health coverage,  Congressional Republicans now head into a two-week recess with more questions than answers. 

Despite renewed negotiations, the basic dynamic hasn’t changed: changes made to garner votes from the conservative House Freedom Caucus cost votes from republican moderates, making the path to passage unclear. Proposed revisions under discussion, such as allowing states to apply for waivers from essential health benefit requirements for private insurance plans and flexibility in community rating only exacerbate ANA’s concerns.       

The AHCA’s shortcomings and the ongoing discussions underline the importance of the next two weeks when Members of Congress will be home in their districts. 

Next Steps:

It’s vital that all who are concerned about affordability and access to quality care reach out to their members of Congress to urge them to oppose the AHCA and the dangerous proposals under discussion.  We need our leaders to help improve, not undo our health care system.
