Dear Colleague Letter
Representatives Lois Capps, RN (D-CA) and Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ) have circulated a letter through the House of Representatives soliciting support for a $44 million increase in funding for nursing workforce development programs.
This Dear Colleague solicitation asked other members of the House of Representatives to sign on to a statement supporting $215 million in fiscal year 2010 funding for the Nursing Workforce Development programs administered by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA).
Thank you to all those who contacted their Representatives to urge them to sign on!
