Dear friend,
I’m sure you have driven past many of these signs in the past two years…planted at hospitals, nursing homes, and urgent care centers. It’s a reminder of the bravery and dedication of our nurses and other health care workers.
Today is National Nurses Day and is the first day of National Nursing Week, which has been celebrated every May since 1974 and culminates on May 12, Florence Nightingale’s birthday.
Nurses have always deserved honor and our gratitude, but COVID-19 brought their heroism and dedication into sharper focus. Many of our hospital-based nurses spent the first few months of the pandemic without proper personal protective equipment, working double shifts, and consoling patients and families.
On this first day of National Nurses Week, please join me in saluting the practitioners of this noble profession.
As I thank nurses, I’ll also support their efforts to advance the health of our population.

Here is what I’ll do in Congress:
*
Defend
the
landmark
Affordable
Care
Act,
which
has
cut
our
uninsured
population
from
12%
to
6%,
one
of
the
lowest
rates
in
the
nation.
*
Fight
to
lower
the
cost
of
prescription
drugs,
something
Andy
Harris
continually
resists.
*
Prepare
for
the
next
pandemic
with
a
“playbook,”
strengthened
public
health
system,
and
stockpile
of
necessary
supplies.
But first things first – please tell a nurse, “thank you” this week.
Thanks,
Dave
