“Hi, my name is ______, and I’m a constituent in your district (add home address_____). I’m reaching out to urge you to vote “yes” on HB 3794, a bill on nurse practitioners that was heard in your committee on Monday, April 14. Our district needs local, affordable care close to home, and nurse practitioners can provide that care. Too many Texans are waiting for care. This bill is about patient choice. It’s about access. And it’s about providing healthcare to patients where and when they need it most. Thank you for all you do to serve the district!
