ASAHP joined 93 other members of the Health Professions and Nursing Education Coalition (HPNEC) in urging Congress to provide $1.51 billion for the HRSA Title VII health professions and Title VIII nursing workforce development programs for FY 2022. The coalition's proposed increase will help HRSA address health inequities and patients' evolving needs across America, especially as the current and future health care workforce remains on the frontlines of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
