This resolution recognizes January 30, 2025, as APRN Day at the state capitol, highlighting the critical role of Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) in Georgia's healthcare system. The resolution acknowledges that there are over 20,000 licensed APRNs in the state who diagnose, manage, and treat both chronic and acute health conditions, and who play a pivotal role in expanding healthcare access and promoting health equity. The document emphasizes that patients make more than one billion visits to APRNs annually nationwide, demonstrating the public's confidence in their care. The resolution commends APRNs for their strength, leadership, and courage, and suggests that modernizing state laws and improving policies can help create a more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective healthcare system. Additionally, the resolution directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies of the resolution available for public and press distribution, thereby increasing awareness of the important contributions of APRNs to Georgia's healthcare landscape.
