Hello ANNA Members -
ANNA just hosted the very successful Health Policy Workshop where 70 ANNA members were educated about health policy and then went to the Hill and educated their representatives about issues important to nephrology nurses and our patients.
In light of that I'd like to remind everyone to plan for Kidney Disease Awareness Week scheduled for August 10-14. This program is part of a continuing effort to educate legislators and their staff members about the needs of patients with end stage renal disease. ANNA members can participate by inviting their Senators and Congressmen to visit their dialysis or transplant facility during that week of August 10-14. Click here for instructions to help you get started.
I'd also like to let our membership know that ANNA's Board of Directors will be hosting their Board Meeting and bi-annual Strategic Planning Meeting the end of this month. While the term Strategic Planning doesn't sound thrilling, it really is quite exciting! ANNA's leaders make decisions that direct the course of the association, and have a positive impact on YOU, our valued members. We are looking forward to creating the vision for ANNA - the future is bright!
And finally, I would like to remind all of you that the sessions recorded our 40th National Symposium held in San Deigo, CA are now available in ANNA's Online Library. Click here to browse the sessions available.
