Video Release: Texas patients, NPs urge legislators to remove barriers to healthcare

TNP, together with the Texans for Healthcare Access Coalition, released a patient voices video, urging Texas lawmakers to remove barriers to healthcare for Texans and pass the HEAL Texans Act (SB 1700).

The video follows the stories of three Texas patients and their healthcare journeys: a senior rural patient from Bedias; a patient from Longview who struggled with and overcame her substance use disorder; and a Texas mother who underwent emergency childbirth at a critical access hospital in St. Augustine. In each of these patient stories, access to a nurse practitioner close to home made a critical, life-saving difference.
