TNP, together with the Texans for Healthcare Access Coalition, released a patient voices video, urging Texas lawmakers to remove barriers to healthcare for Texans and pass the HEAL Texans Act (SB 1700).
The video follows the stories of three Texas patients and their healthcare journeys: a senior rural patient from Bedias; a patient from Longview who struggled with and overcame her substance use disorder; and a Texas mother who underwent emergency childbirth at a critical access hospital in St. Augustine. In each of these patient stories, access to a nurse practitioner close to home made a critical, life-saving difference.
We want to thank our incredible TNP members, Tracy Hicks, Ken Stackhouse, Loy Watson, and Elizabeth Ellis, for being a part of this advocacy video. The stories of your patients, and their unequivocal trust in you as healthcare providers, is clear, powerful, and inspiring.
