Join Us at the Statehouse to Support SB 373

Your advocacy is working.

Because nurses and health professionals have spoken up, met with legislators, participated in Lobby Day, and shared their stories, SB 373 has been scheduled for sponsor testimony before the Senate Health Committee. This hearing is an important milestone and the first step toward giving frontline caregivers a stronger voice in staffing decisions.

We invite nurses and health professionals from across Ohio to attend the hearing and show their support for the sponsors who are bringing this legislation forward. This is not a rally or demonstration—it is an opportunity to respectfully show lawmakers that real people, real patients, and real healthcare professionals are invested in this conversation.

If you attend, please wear your scrubs or professional attire to visibly demonstrate that nurses and health professionals are in the room and paying attention. Your presence sends a powerful message that safe staffing and frontline input matter.

Please remember that Senate committee rules prohibit signs, banners, demonstrations, or outbursts during the hearing. Photography is not permitted without prior approval through an official media request process. We ask all attendees to be respectful of committee rules and decorum. The goal is simple: to stand—or sit—behind the sponsors of SB 373 and show that Ohio's nurses and health professionals support moving this conversation forward.

Sometimes the most powerful advocacy is simply showing up. We hope to see you there.
