In September, the chapter hosted a CE event, “Nursing Advocacy – Your Voice Counts!” facilitated by <strong>KNA</strong><br />
Lobbyist Sheila Schuster. She focused on describing the basic legislative process, listing healthcare related<br />
bills in the General Assembly session and effective methods by which nurses can advocate for patients and<br />
the nursing profession.<br />
The chapter partnered with Morehead State University’s Student Nurses Association for a winter coat drive<br />
that brought in more than 250 coats that were distributed within the chapter’s geographic reach. Another<br />
community health focus for the chapter is to provide Basic Life Support to businesses and churches for free.<br />
The chapter regularly uses social media, word-of-mouth, broadcast coverage, community involvement and<br />
partnerships to increase membership. To encourage more meeting participation, the chapter has discussed<br />
adding phone and or video conferencing.<br />
