During yesterday’s House Health, Welfare & Institutions subcommittee, House Bill 2183 failed to move forward after a tie vote. With support from the Governor’s Office and our patron, Delegate Roxann Robinson, VCNP is working through the legislative process. HB 2183, like all legislation, is not dead until the General Assembly adjourns in March.
We thank all of you for your support and will continue to update you on legislative developments. The General Assembly moves and changes quickly. Look to VCNP to provide the latest updates.
If you have questions about the legislative process, please contact us at vcnp@vcnp.net.
VCNP is excited to share HB 2183. Members will receive communications about the status of our bill, as well as requests to connect with legislators to support our bill.

VCNP Richmond Region president Jeremy Kellems, MSN, NP-C, celebrates NP Week and recognizes the value of NP-delivered care in his Richmond Times-Dispatch opinion piece.
VCNP President Dr. Olivia Newby shared her thoughts about a recent article in the Virginian-Pilot, “Patients in peril: Demand for medical services grows in Virginia but number of doctors doesn’t.” “Based on physician shortage trends, making NPs part of the solution will be essential to the health of all of Virginia’s citizens.”
Attached is a letter from Dr. Colin Greene, Virginia State Health Commissioner, which was distributed to practitioners across the Commonwealth as well as to several state medical associations and organizations.
