Hello! This week, I had two of my bills heard in committee. The first bill would allow nurse aides to work part-time while enrolled in a nurse aid training program. The second bill would expand access to life-saving breast cancer screenings for women with dense breast tissue. For these women, a traditional mammogram screening may not be enough.
My staff and I were also happy to meet with:
- University of Wisconsin
- ATC
- Wisconsin Health Care Association
- Wisconsin Economic Development Association
- Helios Recovery Services
Next week, the Senate will be on the floor voting on dozens of important items, including five bills I was proud to work on with stakeholders and folks around our area. The Senate Committee on Health and others I serve on will be meeting, plus four more bills I authored are continuing to move through the public hearing process. Here is the full calendar of events. I am also looking forward to many meetings around our area!
