New Senate Bill to Help Healthcare Workers
Several Senators have announced that they have proposed a bi-partisan bill in the Senate that would provide a short term increase in the number of immigrant visas available for Medical Doctors and RN's. Given the current climate, there are a limited number of bills that stand a chance to be approved but, given the bi-partisan nature of this proposal and the current shortage of healthcare workers more exacerbated by the COVID-19 virus, it is possible that it could pass. We will provide updates as they become available. If you are a healthcare employer, we would strongly encourage you to reach out to your Senators and express your support.
