Advocacy is at the heart of UAPRN’s mission, ensuring that Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) have a strong voice in healthcare policy and legislation. Through our UAPRN Political Action Committee (PAC), we work to protect, advance, and empower APRNs across Georgia by engaging directly with policymakers and driving legislative change.
Why Advocacy Matters
Legislation directly impacts how APRNs practice, the level of care they can provide, and the barriers they face. By staying engaged in advocacy, we can expand practice authority, improve patient access to care, and eliminate outdated restrictions that limit the role of APRNs.
What Does the UAPRN PAC Do?
✅ Supports APRN-Friendly Legislation – We actively push for bills that improve the ability of APRNs to practice to the full extent of their education and training.
✅ Engages with Lawmakers – UAPRN PAC builds relationships with legislators to educate and influence policy decisions that impact healthcare in Georgia.
✅ Mobilizes APRNs & Healthcare Advocates – We encourage APRNs to get involved, raise awareness, and take action on key issues affecting their profession.
✅ Fights for Healthcare Access – Advocacy isn't just about APRNs—it’s about ensuring all Georgians have access to high-quality, affordable healthcare.
