Message from the Texas Nurse Practitioners (TNP)- Call to Action

Last Friday, our Members came together for a virtual Capitol update on the legislative session. Thank you to all of those who joined us and responded to our call to action. As we shared during the virtual Capitol update, our opponents have been using a well-funded campaign of smears and attacks on us at the Texas Capitol and on social media. The latest attack: calling Texas NPs “non-medical professionals.  ”They are attempting to mislead lawmakers about HB 2029/SB 915 in an organized and calculated effort to derail the legislation and preserve state-mandated delegation contracts. The other side knows our bills are a game-changer for increased health care access and affordability in Texas, and they don’t want legislators to know the truth about how these bills will end pay-to-practice and provide more options to patients. What can you do?

• Donate to the PAC. A well-funded TNP PAC helps us reach more lawmakers so they can hear the truth about NPs and the importance of health care access in their districts.
• We need NPs to join TNP. We simply need more NPs. We need to hear more from members regarding how these unnecessary barriers are impeding patient care and access. Please encourage your colleagues to not wait, but to join TNP today.
• Go to our Grassroots Center and email your legislator today.
  
• Share your story with TNP. If you have a story to tell about how these barriers are impacting access in your area or impeding you being able to have a business in Texas, email emily@texasnp.org.
