@MaryBentleyAR@SarahHuckabee I’m so excited for this much needed change. This is a huge step for improving the health of Arkansans, including our youngest generations. What we fuel our bodies with has a profound effect on our physical and psychological well-being ❤️
Today, the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been removed from @CDCgov recommended immunization schedule. Bottom line: it’s common sense and it’s good science. We are now one step closer to realizing @POTUS’s promise to Make America Healthy Again.
Yesterday, Nan Means & I represented NPs with ANPA PAC and met with Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders. Her bold plans to improve healthcare access & outcomes are inspiring! Exciting times for AR! @ANPAssociation@SarahHuckabee#ArkansasHealth#NPsLead
Thursday was an incredible day at Nurses Day at the Capitol! 600+ nurses showed up to advocate for our profession. Proud to represent ANPA and speak on APRN advocacy alongside amazing leaders.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing healthcare organization. Boston Mountain Rural Health Center has a sincere passion to provide high quality, accessible, affordable, patient-centered health care to improve the well-being of our patients.
@JuliaNPAdvocate@AANP_NEWS Congratulations @JuliaNPAdvocate!! We have excellent leadership and representation in Arkansas!!
Congrats to the rest of our elected AANP leaders as well!!
UnitedHealth Group report: “if all states were to allow NPs to practice to the full extent of their education and training, about 31 million more people living in primary care shortage areas would have access to healthcare” @AANP_NEWS https://t.co/Xt9JmR6QfL
Nurse practitioners are more likely to serve in rural and underserved areas. NPs increased by 43% in rural areas,
and now represent 1 in 4 rural
providers. I support #HEALTexansAct#SB1700 to increase access and options for patients. @AANP_NEWS@TNPAustin#PatientsOverProfits
@LeonieD4NPs@NONPF That’s a great step to advancing our profession!! It would be great to see improvements in the standardization of education across the profession and to disapprove the continuance of institutions recognized as diploma mills who are known to produce very low quality APRNs
@LeonieD4NPs I’m hopeful we’ll see legislative action to improve access to care for Texans, they certainly need APRNs to practice to their fullest scope of their practice!
It was wonderful participating in Nurses Day at the Capitol with @ArkansasNurses. Meeting with our state legislators to discuss health policy was inspiring! @emurray66@LeonieD4NPs
Cardiac care units where nurses were found to have a generally depressed mood exhibited a patient death rate four times higher than similar units.

Getting to meet and talk with our state and district AANP representatives this last week was nothing short of amazing! Both are so inspiring and work hard advocating for our profession and for the healthcare of Arkansans!!I’m telling you, Arkansas has the best!@JuliaNP @DrPeckPNP
