Immediate Call to Action on PMHNP bill

Fort Lauderdale, FL
The South Florida Council of Advanced Practice Nurses

We need your help--YOUR voices need to be heard as we move the needle further this session.

We all know Florida is facing a mental health crisis and there are 22 counties that have no psychiatrist and patients have no access to care. 

SB 138  expands autonomous practice for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners (PMHNPs) so care can reach patients now, especially in rural and underserved communities.

PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR SENATORS TODAY!!!  .

Please take a moment to contact Senator Colleen Burton and members of the Senate Health Policy Committee and urge them to hear and move SB138 forward.
