Right now Congress is setting the health care agenda for the rest of 2015, we must call on them to support the Home Health Planning and Improvement Act (S. 578/H.R. 1342). Legislators need to understand that nurse practitioners must be able to certify the assessments for home health services. This will increase access to care and reduce needless costs and delays to the millions of patients that choose to receive their care from a nurse practitioner. 

Now is the time, to come together to make certain that our voices are heard so that this legislation is given the priority it deserves. Contact your Members of Congress (https://www.votervoice.net/AONE/Campaigns/41306/Respond ) to ask them to support the Home Health Planning and Improvement Act and that they urge the committees of jurisdiction to take action on these bills.  

Thank you,
