Ensuring that patients have access to the quality health care professionals of their choice
Legislation
New full practice authority bill filed!
We are appealing to our membership to contact their South Carolina State Representatives and Senators and urge them to support – House Bill 3580 / Senate Bill 45!
Senate Bill 669, which was presented on the last day of session, is far more restrictive to what our current practice act states.
The Coalition for Access to Health Care as well as the South Carolina Nurses' Association opposes S669.
When talking to legislators or people of influence, remember this is about Access to Healthcare in SC. After our 2018 bill passed, more APRNs went to the rural areas and more physicians left the rural areas. This has been documented by AHEC.
💰 Coalition Needs Donations!
The Coalition will be looking to hire a second lobbyist and is asking for donations. To pass the 2018 bill – which took us four years – cost us well over $100,000. We expect that our costs will be much higher with this bill. Please remember, this is for our future and the future of our profession! Please give generously!
