@kmciltr1 An important resource to understand the importance of the COVID vaccine to properly advocate for its usage is https://t.co/KNyUskvoZ9

@kmciltr1 I believe a few critical areas nurses should be involved include Universal Health Care, reducing healthcare disparities and policies surrounding COVID, particularly with respect to mandatory vaccines. #HealthPolicy2021 #JHSON

@cobraunstein @kmciltr1 We have so many opportunities to be involved and make our voices heard!

@camille_canlas @kmciltr1 That is a great resources. I was not aware that the ANA provided that on their website!

@kmciltr1 As a well-respected profession, nurses can advocate for issues by contacting local representatives and senators. Nurses can also be active in their local Unions. #HealthPolicy21 #JHSON

@HJoachim_FNP @kmciltr1 That's a great idea! It is important to know where your local representatives stand on an issue and it's an easy way to engage with them.

@camille_canlas @kmciltr1 This is incredibly important given our current times in health care. We need to continue to be able to have that provider-patient relationship even if it is not in person!

@oma_opara @kmciltr1 That was a great experience! It allowed us to get a feel of how an Act is passed through legislation and be a part of the process.

@kmciltr1 Some ways in which I have participated in advocacy for health policy issues in the past is to write letters to my local representatives, sign petitions and have pointed, open conversations with people outside of the health care community. #HealthPolicy21 #JHSON #FAANAct2021
