ANNA Supports Congressional Effort to Protect Organ Donors
The American Nephrology Nurses Association (ANNA) proudly supports the reintroduction of the bipartisan Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives.
Introduced by Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Representatives Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) and Don Bacon (R-NE) the Living Donor Protection Act would ensure living donors do not face discrimination from insurance companies, codify Department of Labor (DOL) guidance that covers living donors under the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) in the private and civil service, remove barriers to organ donation, and provide certainty to donors and recipients.
