28 other states have relaxed restrictions on #NursePractitioners by allowing them to support patients without direct physician oversight. California is the only Western state that hasn’t found a way to empower this vital part of its #HealthWorkforce. chcf.org/publication/califor…

There is a reason @CFHWC included the expansion of #NursePractitioners scope as one of its top 10 priorities in 2019: Commissioners agreed that empowering #NPs would be critical to eliminating the state's growing shortage of primary care physicians. futurehealthworkforce.org/20…

COVID-19 hit us where we are vulnerable. Unlike the flu, there is no community immunity to this virus. There is no treatment & no vaccine. The incubation period is long, and the virus is very contagious. calmatters.org/commentary/sa… @CalMatters @ASlavitt @DrewAltman @CEO_CalWellness

More than 50% of Californians suffering from mental illness don't receive the care they need. A big reason: A serious shortage of #MentalHealth providers. A new @UCSFNurse @UCDavis_Nursing , @UCLANursing program takes aim at closing the #ProviderGap. ow.ly/pvoR50y8f5x

Replying to @UC_President
@UC_President Janet Napolitano calls the launch today of UC’s new, first-of-its-kind online #PsychNP program as an “important step toward growing the state’s health care workforce and bringing training to underserved regions.” Details here ➡️: ow.ly/kwnn50y8f1K @CFHWC
One of @CFHWC's top recs was to maximize the role of NPs and to expand their practice authority. In doing so, they noted that California is 1 of 28 states — and the only western state — that restricts NPs by requiring them to work with physician oversight. chcf.org/collection/expandin…
California faces serious shortages in its health workforce, which makes it too difficult for too many people to access the care they need. The @CFHWC offers solutions to address these challenges bit.ly/6Solutions @CHCFNews

.@CFHWC cited the PRIME-LC prog as an important approach to managing CA's looming shortage of health care workers at a time when the population is increasing and skewing older. Meet some of the PRIME-LC students making a difference for Latino communities. chcf.org/blog/primed-for-hea…
