Washington Insiders
Dennis Flores (left), Mary Steimer, Maya Jackson, and Dean Linda McCauley met with U.S. Representative John Lewis in Washington, D.C., last spring to brief the Georgia congressman on nursing issues. Notes Flores, “The main issues we advocated for were funding of Title VIII (to support Nursing Workforce Programs under the Public Health Service Act), the National Institute of Nursing Research, and nurse-managed health clinics.” Flores and Steimer are Woodruff Clinical Scholars at Emory, while Jackson is a graduate student at Georgia State University.
