At the beginning of the 114th Congress, Rep. Peter King (R-NY) and I will re-introduce the National Nurse Act to spring preventive health
forward by designating the Chief Nurse Officer, an existing position in
the U.S. Public Health Service,as the National Nurse for Public Health.
This position would provide a publicly visible nurse leader who
would collaborate with health care leaders to address health
disparities and set goals of better public health.

Purdue is proud to introduce Team Against Opioid Abuse,
a new website designed to help healthcare professionals and laypeople
alike learn about different abuse-deterrent technologies and how they
can help in the reduction of misuse and abuse of opioids. Combating
misuse and intentional abuse of prescription pain relievers involves
more than just the person holding the prescription pad. It is a team
effort, including pharmacists, nurses, counselors, caregivers, patients,
and payers, both public- and private-sector. Public health experts have
stated that Opioids with Abuse-Deterrent Properties (OADP) are an
essential component of a comprehensive, evidence-based strategy to
reduce opioid abuse that requires coordinated and sustained efforts from
the healthcare team along with multiple other players, such as
manufacturers, policymakers, regulators, educators, and law enforcement.
