The FY 2026-2027 New York State budget has finally passed—and NYSNA nurses' relentless advocacy led to a number of critical victories for nurses, our patients, and our nursing practice!
Our ability to strengthen our public health infrastructure, our social safety net, and take action to support frontline workers depends on electing candidates who support nurses, healthcare professionals, and our communities.
With the budget yet to be finalized, nurses will continue to advocate for our patients, our practice, and our profession—and against any proposal that puts the health of New Yorkers at risk.
