This is National Nurses Week, when we recognize the significant contributions that nurses make to keeping America healthy. It’s also a time to celebrate the ways the new health care law, the Affordable Care Act, is helping invest in nurses. Many of the new health initiatives in the law would not be possible without them.
To talk about National Nurses Week and what the health law means for nurses, we’ll be hosting a session of Office Hours on Monday, May 7th at 3:30 pm EDT with Mary Wakefield, a Registered Nurse and Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, which runs many of the programs that help train and support nurses. Have questions about the new law and nurses?
Here’s how White House Office Hours work:
- Ask your questions now and during the live event on Twitter with the hashtag #WHChat
- Follow the Q&A live through the @WHLive Twitter account
- If you miss the live session, the full session will be posted on WhiteHouse.gov and Storify.com/WhiteHouse
So, stop by for Office Hours at 3:30 p.m. EDT on Monday, May 7th with Mary Wakefield and be sure to follow @WhiteHouse on twitter for the latest news and more opportunities to engage.
