The American Nurses Association was proud to welcome President Barack Obama as a guest speaker to its biennial House of Delegates. He spoke to an estimated crowd of more than 1,000 nurses and guests during the opening session.
ANA has had numerous opportunities over the last month to send members from around the country to events with President Barack Obama to demonstrate their strong support for the President and his goal of achieving meaningful health reform.
Just when everyone thought health care reform was dead….it’s baaaack!!! The last week of February showed the American people that President Barack Obama and Congressional leaders are committed to advancing and enacting meaningful health care reform. ANA wants to make sure you have the latest information on what is happening in Washington, DC!
ANA has come out in support of the President’s (FY 2011) budget proposal, released February 1st which demonstrates his continued commitment to strengthening the nation’s nursing workforce. The $590 million included for health professions programs includes $244 million for increasing the capacity of the nurse workforce.
