Subject: | Resolution designating the week of September 8 through September 14, 2013 as Nephrology Nurses Week in Pennsylvania. |
I will be introducing a resolution on Friday, September 20, 2013 designating September 8-14, 2013 as Nephrology Nurses Week in Pennsylvania and asking all residents of this Commonwealth to join in honoring the nephrology nurses who care for patients with kidney disease. Nearly 20 million Americans suffer from kidney disease and every year many Pennsylvania residents, including children, adults and elderly individuals, are diagnosed with kidney disease. The American Nephrology Nurses' Association is working to advance quality care for Americans with kidney disease before they suffer complete organ failure, to increase awareness in local communities, to positively influence patient outcomes and to keep nephrology nurses abreast of the latest treatments and kidney-related research. Please join me in cosponsoring this resolution! Thank you! |
