Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) presented proponent testimony to the House Health and Aging Committee on January 20. If you have not already contacted your state representative about your opposition to House Bill 216, the proposal to give APRNs independent practice here in Ohio, please do so now.
The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians is joining forces with the Ohio State Medical Association (OSMA) in making it very easy for you to send an email to your legislators on this issue. You do not have to be an OSMA member to use the system. Send an email to your member of the Ohio House of Representatives and urge them to oppose this legislation today!

I am against, and not in favor of house bill 216.
This bill will put many patient’s at risk by allowing APRNs to PRACTICE MEDICINE WITHOUT MEDICAL LICENSE.
