We need your help today to help pass FULL PRACTICE AUTHORITY for nurse practitioners in Texas.

 

In March, Sen. Blanco introduced SB 1700, the HEAL Texans Act, which would remove antiquated delegation requirements for nurse practitioners and expand access to care for patients across Texas.

 

If this bill moves forward, it will be voted on in the Senate Health and Human Services Committee, and your Senator is a member of this key committee.

 

Please take a couple minutes today to place a call and ask for support for this important bill.

 

Number to Call: (512) 463-0101

 

Phone Script:

 

 “Hi, my name is _____, and I’m a constituent in Senate District 1. I’m contacting your office to express support for SB 1700, the HEAL Texans Act. Families in our district desperately need more options for healthcare. The provider shortage is getting worse, and costs are skyrocketing. We need more access to local, quality health care we can trust. We ask that Sen. Hughes put the needs of Texas patients first by supporting SB 1700. Thank you.”

 

For talking points and additional guidance, go here.

 

Once you complete your phone call, you can also send a letter to Sen. Hughes using our Grassroots Action Center here.
