SILVER SPRING, MD – November 12, 2025 – Today, the American Nurses Association (ANA) announced a National Nurses Day of Action. Representing the interests of the nation’s more than 5 million registered nurses, ANA is leading nurses, nursing students and healthcare advocates across the country to petition Congress to take immediate steps to protect the safety, mental health, and well-being of the nation’s largest group of healthcare professionals—nurses. Through a variety of coordinated grassroots advocacy efforts, ANA is urging Congress to prioritize passing two essential pieces of legislation: The Workplace Violence Prevention for Health Care and Social Service Workers Act and The Lorna Breen Health Care Provider Protection Reauthorization Act.
Health care professionals dedicate their lives to healing others, yet are among the most at risk for workplace violence. In this Leadership Dialogue conversation, Tina Freese Decker, president and CEO of Corewell Health and 2025 AHA board chair, sits down with Claire Zangerle, DNP, R.N., CEO of the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) and senior vice president and chief nurse executive of the American Hospital Association, to discuss the now necessary security measures for hospitals and health systems, workplace violence prevention strategies, and the urgent need to advocate for health care worker protections.
