Health Policy & Legislative Advocacy

Founded in May 2005, the purpose of the MCNP-PAC is to address legislative issues that involve access, cost and quality of health care, legislation that affects nurse practitioner scope of practice in Massachusetts, and issues that affect the educational requirements of nurse practitioners.

The PAC serves to create guidelines for donating to candidates, to develop fundraising ideas, and to strategize, with the help of our lobbyists and legislative committee, on how best to raise the visibility of NP issues to legislators.

We remain active in many aspects of policy and welcome MCNP members to be active in issues that affect our profession. The PAC has ongoing activities throughout the year involving grassroots legislative activities, fundraising events and media relations. We welcome all levels of involvement. Feel free to contact us for more information on how to be part of the PAC or the MCNP Legislative Committee.

Support the Political Action Committee

The MCNP-PAC relies on the ongoing support of membership donations to continue lobbying pertinent issues. Please consider donating the monetary equivalent of one hour of your work salary. This will go a long way toward giving us the resources we need to accomplish our legislative goals. You can also contribute by donating an item to be raffled at one of our events. Examples of items we are looking for include tickets to sporting events, weekend vacations, art, jewelry, gift certificates, and assorted baskets of items and services.

If you would like to make a monetary donation to the MCNP-PAC, checks must include the name and address of the donor and be made payable to:
