NURSES TRANSFORMING HEALTHCARE: A WORLD OF OPPORTUNITY<br />
WHY IS TNPAC<br />
IMPORTANT?<br />
<strong>Nurses</strong>, the largest group of<br />
health care professionals,<br />
need legislative support and<br />
a strong professional voice to<br />
ensure a quality practice environment<br />
and excellent health<br />
care for patients. Joining<br />
our efforts with other nurses<br />
through the <strong>Tennessee</strong> <strong>Nurses</strong><br />
<strong>Association</strong> and TNPAC<br />
contributions, nurses can<br />
make the difference in important<br />
health care decisions.<br />
WHY CONTRIBUTE<br />
TO TNPAC?<br />
When <strong>Tennessee</strong> politicians<br />
gather to make decisions<br />
about nursing and health<br />
care, it’s important they<br />
hear from the experts -<br />
<strong>Tennessee</strong>’s nurses. What’s<br />
the best way to get their<br />
attention? Through the<br />
<strong>Tennessee</strong> <strong>Nurses</strong> Political<br />
Action Committee<br />
(TNPAC).<br />
WHAT ARE THE<br />
BENEFITS?<br />
When you contribute<br />
to TNPAC, your funds<br />
are used to support the<br />
election of state legislative<br />
candidates who support<br />
nursing and quality,<br />
cost-effective health care.<br />
TNPAC’s support is given<br />
regardless of political<br />
affilliation, and instead,<br />
focuses on improving<br />
health care.<br />
