But your safety is our paramount consideration, and we have no choice. For those already in Orlando for the event, Sunday’s NCAL Day and intensives will go on as planned. Please see our full message:

#ICYMI: Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) delivered a powerful speech before the U.S. Senate this week, highlighting the strain that the CMS federal staffing mandate is placing on communities across the country. This mandate will create significant challenges for seniors and veterans, particularly in rural and underserved areas. It's critical that we continue to advocate for policies that protect access to care.

"In my state, we’ve had six facilities close since 2021, indicating the already challenging operating environment. I fear this misguided rule will supercharge this trend and deprive rural individuals the opportunity to receive care in their own communities, near the people they love and know the best: their families, and their friends, their loved ones." Watch as Senator Cramer addresses the Senate floor to underscore the significant risks posed by the CMS staffing mandate and the challenges nursing homes face due to excessive administrative oversight: https://brnw.ch/21wNaTi
