Youth Rally - July 12 - 17, Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio   (Arrive July 10th for orientation and set-up)

It's that time of year again to sign up nurse counselors for Youth Rally. www.rally4youth.org/staff.php has the application for the camp.

Teens may have never met another young person with their GI/urinary situation, and can benefit from that experience as well as from meeting older role models, to become independent and to broadening their sense of what they can accomplish despite the physical management needs with which they live.

Campers are needed - we always search for campers. The NW WOCN Region raises money each regional meeting through our auction to send campers and counselors to camp.

Please pass on the word - we need nurse counselors and Campers!!

Join the Team for Healthcare Reform

Sign the Petition to Get Health Care Reform DONE!
With his much anticipated bipartisan Health Care Summit with Congressional leaders on the horizon, this morning President Obama released his proposal for a way forward on health care reform. Trying to break the impasse in Congress and get meaningful health reform passed this year, the President's proposal attempts to bridge the gaps between the House and Senate health care reform bills, find the middle ground, and get the process moving again!
We need to show Congress that we agree with the President - health care reform shouldn't be a partisan issue, and it needs to be passed NOW!  Show your support by signing the "Let's Get It Done!" petition to Congress, urging them to pass meaningful health care reform!
What does it mean for you? 
The President's proposal puts consumers first by focusing on affordability, access, and insurer accountability.  It ends discrimination against Americans with pre-existing conditions, provides health insurance for over 31 million Americans who currently don't have insurance, and makes it more affordable for those that do by providing the largest middle class tax cut in health care history.
The President's plan directly calls for an increase in the number of nursesin the United States.  It also aims to address the critical problems facing nursing today - workforce shortage and nursing retention. 
Sign the "Let's Get It Done!" petition to Congress - and tell your friends and colleagues to sign it too!
To read more about the President's proposal go to our toolkit.
We Need Your Help!!
Lend your voice to the millions of Americans who know that now is finally the time for health care reform.  Sign our "Let's Get It Done!" petition and let your Members of Congress know that the cost of inaction is too great - we need real, meaningful health care reform NOW!!!
Kind Regards,
