Today, MCNP State Legislative Policy Director Allison Gilmer, DNP, MPH, had the opportunity to attend the policy event, “Solutions to Massachusetts’ Healthcare Workforce Challenges,” hosted by MASSterList, State House News Service, and Johnson & Johnson.

The program explored the causes of Massachusetts' healthcare access challenges, where the critical gaps lie, and potential legislative and practice-based improvements.

Discussions like these underscore the importance of Nurse Practitioners engaging with policymakers as essential partners in strengthening the healthcare workforce and expanding access to care.

MCNP remains committed to ensuring that nurse practitioners have a seat at the table and a strong voice in shaping the future of healthcare in Massachusetts.

📚 October is Health Literacy Month!

Health literacy is the ability of individuals to find, understand, and use information and services to make informed decisions about their health and healthcare.

It goes beyond simply reading or listening — it involves understanding medical terms, navigating the healthcare system, following treatment instructions, and applying health information in daily life.

For Nurse Practitioners, advancing health literacy is more than sharing information — it’s about empowering patients to understand their health, make informed decisions, and actively participate in their care.

Why it matters:
• Nearly 9 out of 10 adults in the U.S. struggle with health literacy.
• Low health literacy is linked to poorer health outcomes and higher healthcare costs.

Health literacy starts with clear, compassionate communication — a hallmark of NP practice.
