House Nursing Caucus

Share |

The House Nursing Caucus was established in January 2003 to educate Congress on the issues important to nurses and the impact nurses have on other important health care issues. Currently, Representatives Lois Capps and Steve LaTourette are the co-chairs. The Caucus will hold regular briefings on matters such as the nursing shortage, Medicare, and health care workplace issues. Since announcing this new organization, 120 Members of Congress have joined the caucus. The list of members appears below.  To join, contact Adriane Casalotti, Office of Rep. Lois Capps, 202-225-3601 or Kate Ostrander, Office of Rep. Steven LaTourette, 202-225-5731.
