The three key bills that Hill Day attendees addressed were: • The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act (R. 1309/S. 851) • The Home Health Care Planning Improvement Act (R. 2150/ S. 296) • The Title VIII Nursing Workforce Reauthorization Act of 2019 (R. 728/S. 1399) Additionally, participants addressed the importance of nurse staffing as ANA continues to work with federal policymakers on this critical nurse and patient safety issue. The Iowa nursing delegation was fortunate to be able to meet with Senator Charles Grassley, and Representatives Steve King and Representative Dave Loebsack. Although not able to visit with Senator Joni Ernst and Representative Amy Finkenauer, they were able to visit with staff members. Nursing is so much more than advocating for the patient at the bedside. Advocating for the patient and the health of the country through legislation is a duty and an honor. Those interested in becoming more involved with ANA/INA are encouraged to one day join us on “the Hill.” It is an experience of a lifetime!
