In collaboration with the Columbia University School of Nursing, we are delighted to present this special event.
Lauren Underwood, MSN/MPH, RN, FAAN, is one of only three nurses currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she represents Illinois’ 14th District.

At this event, she’ll discuss her views on the most pressing legislative priorities, the impact of federal policies on nursing practice, and how nurses around the nation can play a role in building a more perfect health care system for all.
Rep. Underwood will be interviewed by:
