AONL urges Congress to support health care workers in COVID-19 relief bill

AONL is calling on nurse leaders to urge Congress to support front-line caregivers, hospitals and health systems as lawmakers negotiate a year-end spending package focused on pandemic relief. Priorities for AONL include adequate supplies of personal protective equipment and access to mental services; increased funding for Title VIII Nursing Workforce Development programs; and increased access to telehealth services. Funding these priorities is critical to ensuring the nursing workforce can continue to respond to this pandemic and future public health challenges.
