The Pennsylvania State Senate has passed Senate Bill 5 – the Community Based Health Care Act. PSNA was successful in having Certified Nurse Practitioners, Clinical Nurse Specialists, Certified Nurse Anesthetists and Certified Nurse Midwives inserted into the bills definitions in order for those APRNs to receive funding through the grant process.

This bill now heads to the Governor’s desk where we expect him to sign it into law. Thank you to our members that wrote, called and advocated on behalf of this important piece of legislation.
