Nurse Practitioner in Kentucky Elevator Speech  about a health policy issue

After a panel discussion, which you describe a policy/bill you are in favor of, a newspaper reporter asks to talk with you about your bill/policy issue and what is being done and what you think should be done in the 2020 general assembly legislature session. Give a 1-minute oral elevator speech (heart, brain, wallet) in response to the reporter’s question based on the policy/bill you are in favor of.  Start by giving your name, the name of the hypothetical coalition you are representing, and summarize the reporter’s question, followed by a 1-minute elevator speech. Remember to use lay language in talking with the reporter.

Instructions:

• Students are to:
  • Develop a 60 second Elevator Speech about a health policy issue you feel passionate about that clearly articulates your position and post in the discussion board.
