Exciting times for the West Virginia Nurses Association (WVNA) President-Elect Lya Cartwright-Stroupe and CEO, Julie Huron are at the 2026 ANA C/SNA State Health Policy Meeting! As you can see, Lizard Brain is here!

Yesterday, we received important updates on the Department of Education lawsuit, highlighting nursing as a professional degree and its impact on loan limits. We also had insightful discussions with Stephanie Carlton, Deputy Administrator at CMS, about the role of Clinical AI and the modernization of Medicaid quality.

Today, we heard from Anna Heard, Policy Director for Health at the National Governors Association, and Lauren Kallins, Senior Legislative Director at the National Conference of State Legislatures. We are engaged in meaningful conversations that aim to elevate the nursing profession and tackle critical healthcare policy issues.
