FIGHTING FOR YOU

New law helps you access healthcare when and where you need it! Tools to help relieve caregiver stress are very important. That’s why access to medical services is critical. By using computers and tablets to connect patients with a healthcare professional remotely, telehealth can help deliver care when and where it’s needed. This year, AARP Alabama supported a new law that allows nurses to practice across state lines without having to obtain an additional nursing license, making access to healthcare services easier and saving unnecessary trips to the doctor (or medical professionals) for caregivers and their loved ones.
