Capitol Hill Electronic Advocacy Report (CHEAR) e-Newsletter
February 2007

The Oncology Nursing Society (ONS) is pleased to publish the latest edition of the Capitol Hill Electronic Advocacy Report (CHEAR), an electronic newsletter with updates for its members and coalition partners about the status of ONS's federal legislative priorities and associated advocacy activities. CHEAR is distributed through the ONStat grassroots electronic network, posted on the ONS Legislative Action Center, and disseminated by the ONS State Health Policy Liaisons.

Beginning with the February 2007 issue, CHEAR no longer will be issued quarterly; instead, it will be issued periodically when important information on health policy becomes available. For more regular health policy updates, see the monthly Capitol Connection column in ONS Connect.

Visit the ONS Legislative Action Center to view the complete ONS Health Policy Agenda for the current year and help ONS with its advocacy efforts.
