This Senate resolution designates 2026 as "The Year of The Power of Nurses" to celebrate the 130th anniversary of the American Nurses Association, which was founded in 1896. The resolution honors nurses as the largest segment of the U.S. healthcare workforce and recognizes their essential contributions to patient care, public health, medical research, and health policy across all care settings. The measure acknowledges nurses' historical role in responding to major health crises and their ongoing work as clinicians, educators, advocates, and innovators. This is a symbolic resolution with no funding or programmatic requirements—it simply expresses the Senate's recognition and appreciation for the nursing profession and its impact on American health and well-being.
