Office of the National Nurse presence in Denver!



HEP's own national nurse, Teri Mills, writes:

Thanks to a Healthcare United, a new national movement of nurses and healthcare workers who are coming together to help fix our broken healthcare system, the Office of the National Nurse Campaign will have a presence in Denver at the Democratic National Convention. This is a great opportunity to come together and raise our voices to say the status quo is NOT working in healthcare, it is not working for our patients and it is not working to improve the health of our country.

On Wednesday afternoon, August 27th, the day before Senator Barack Obama accepts the nomination, there will be a large rally and concert at Sunken Gardens Park, on 8th and Speer beginning at 2pm MDT. The event will include a parade to the Pepsi Center (where the DNC is meeting), A-List bands, celebrity emcees, rousing speeches from healthcare activists and key Democratic leaders, and fun activities for the kids.



In the park itself, there will be big "theme tents" on Wednesday. If you're in town, you are invited to stop by The Long Term Care Reform Ward and Art Gallery, The Nurses' Station, The Legislative Emergency Room, (where you will find Teri Mills lobbying for an Office of the National Nurse for prevention) and, of course, The Free Clinic, Alternative Wellness Center and Hydration Station.

Do you have a personal story about how our broken healthcare system and a solution on how to make it better? Healthcare United encourages you to participate in the decision making process and invites you to submit your own ideas on how to fix our healthcare system. Your suggestions to improve healthcare will be delivered to Senator Obama during the convention.

Note: Teri will update us as she is able, from Denver or immediately following!
