As senators pursue a bipartisan immigration deal, we urge them to address the green card backlog. Bills like #HWRA would address labor shortages in health care and improve access in underserved areas. @JohnCornyn@SenThomTillis @SenatorSinema @ChrisCoons

@ReichlinMelnick About 15,000 non-citizen physicians fought in the frontlines of the pandemic, often their dependent spouses were restricted from driving, they could not visit families in home countries, some kids that aged out face deportation.

Alaska's governor requested health care reinforcements to support overwhelmed hospitals. #HWRA would enable doctors near and far to respond to these requests.
#HWRA strengthens our health care system and will save lives. @SenatorDurbin@lisamurkowski

#HWRA and #Conrad30 are overwhelmingly bipartisan bills that would help overworked healthcare workers and health systems as we fight #COVID19 and maintain basic hospital services in underserved areas.
Thank you @SenatorDurbin and @SenAmyKlobuchar!

#S3599 will give 40k green cards to nurses and doctors who passed their training and exams to practice in the US. This will help deepen the health workforce bench. Props to @sendavidperdue@DickDurbin@ToddYoungIN@ChrisCoons for giving this bipartisan clout.
Dr. Abhinav Singh is a well-respected physician in Greenwood, IN who has been waiting 18 years for a green card. Let’s pass my Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act to keep great healthcare workers like Dr. Singh here in the U.S. https://t.co/DlgneiYAD0
Frontline workers are needed now more than ever as Wisconsin confronts the worst of the pandemic thus far. #S3599 is critical to strengthening the workforce and ensuring access to highly-trained physicians. @SenRonJohnson@sendavidperdue@SenToddYoung

Thanks @anupamuab at the @ASNKidney for reminding us how critical specialists like nephrologists are in our fight versus #COVID. We need more solutions to strengthen the healthcare workforce and the #S3599 helps address this problem. @SenJohnThune#HWRA

Immigrant health care workers provide quality care throughout the country--particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic
We sent a letter to McConnell urging him to include the "Healthcare Workforce Resilience Act" in the upcoming COVID relief package

Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nevada, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Utah & Washington will likely devote half of their ICU doctors to #COVID19 patients, leaving few staff to help other critically ill patients. We must pass #S3599. https://t.co/ABvEI9tNfi
