Abstract

Engaging stakeholders in healthcare policy is crucial, and nurses play a vital role in the development and advancement of healthcare policy. Addressing the challenge by the Institute of Medicine to engage nurses as leaders in health policy, we describe our successful use of a nurse-led health policy summit to communicate and inform voters, while specifically engaging participants in a dialogue on telehealth. The 2024 program received favorable evaluation ratings for the live event.
