“Dr. Amy Acton understands that safe patient care starts with supporting the nurses and health professionals on the front lines. She has consistently stood for policies that lower healthcare costs, protect working families, and strengthen our healthcare system from the ground up,” said Rick Lucas, President and Executive Director of the Ohio Nurses Association. “At a time when too many communities, especially rural areas, are facing growing barriers to care, we need leadership that will invest in access, accountability, and a workforce that can safely meet patients’ needs. That’s why the Ohio Nurses Association is proud to stand with her.”
