Members,

Please help us here in Georgia by supporting this nationaal legislation and seeking your national legislators to support the Frontlines to Lifelines Act of 2015 (S. 297)

This important bill recognizes the merit and value in NPs indepently practicing to the fullest scope of practice in the veterans healthcare system.

Sen. Kirk (R-IL) introduced the Frontlines to Lifelines Act of 2015 (S. 297) with Sen. Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Udall (D-NM). This bill would authorize NPs to practice to their full scope throughout the VA system. Currently, more than 4,000 NPs provide a full range of services to veterans receiving care in the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). To ensure that our veterans are receiving the best care possible, NPs must be able to practice to their full scope throughout the VA.
Please contact your Members of Congress and ask them to cosponsor S. 297

Thank You !!
