My name is Mark Erwin Lopez, currently working at Parkland hospital as a nurse practitioner in the Psychiatric Emergency Department. As part of our healthcare policy class in my DNP class, one of our objectives is to analyze the role of nurses as political participants in health care planning and influence on world health policy. Another objective is to develop advocacy skills for representing in the community and advanced nursing practices as it relates to social justice, equity, and ethical policies in health care. 

I am requesting if I can spend some time with any policy representative from this group, regarding a specific health care policy that has made an impact on to healthcare workers specifically HB 705 (2013) which Congressman Turner has coauthored in 2013 legislation and other policy regarding healthcare safety. I am very much interested in enhanced protections to nurses and other health care workers who provide care in the emergency departments. 

Thank you so much and hoping I can connect with this group.
