Click on the link to view the NPNEC press release, 2-4-2008. Dear NN2 Member:
Please read The Health Professions and Nursing Education Coalition (HPNEC) press statement of February 4, 2008, (link is above this message). President Bush proposes to eliminate Title VII health professions programs and cut funding for Title VIII nurse training programs. If passed, the funding for both Titles VII and VIII would be reduced to $110 million in FY 09 compared to $350 million in FY 08.
Consider how these reductions will affect not only access of care for the uninsured and underserved, but also the impact that the elimination of diversity programs and interdisciplinary programs, including AHEC, will have upon health care provider and educator shortages. I strongly urge you to write to your Congressmen and Senators to voice your concerns and objections to the President's proposal to weaken beyond repair the already-fragile health care delivery system in this country.
Janell Lang, President, NN2
