ISAPN is proud of the work we do in Springfield. In 2015, we collaborated with ANA-Illinois to form the Illinois Nurses Grassroots Coalition. We are proud of this collaboration and believe it makes us stronger as a profession and as an association. It takes a village, as they say, and that is true for changing policy in Springfield. The attached report is designed to inform the APRNs of Illinois of the vital work done by both RNs and APRNs within our coalition.
