Welcome

WELCOME to the website of the MOAA Uniformed Services Nurse Advocates Virtual Chapter. If you are concerned about Military Healthcare issues which affect Uniformed Service Members (currently serving and Reserve/Guard components, Retirees, Veterans and their families), you’ve landed at the right site. If you’re a current or past member of a Uniformed Services Nurse Corps, you’re on a great path. We also require membership in the Military Officers Association of America, but that can be done as part of the application process at no cost. We also charge no dues! Our members have had interesting and diverse careers, with extraordinary expertise in many areas of nursing. Nurses have always been patient advocates, caring for them continues through advocacy for healthcare-related legislation and other important MOAA goals.

Purpose of MUSNAVC

To promote and support the Military Officers Association of America;

To foster fraternal relations and camaraderie among Military Nurses;

To advocate for Healthcare related services and programs for all Military service members, former and present.

Chapter Update

MUSNAVC, at its' core, is focused on legislative advocacy involving healthcare issues for all uniformed service beneficiaries. In April we participated in the highly successful Advocacy in Action campaign. From August through September our Congressional House and Senate representatives are on Summer Recess in their home districts listening to their constituents on matters of importance.

MOAA holds a Summer Advocacy in Action program during the Congressional Summer Recess and encourages all of our members to contact their representatives and ask for their support on key issues. This can be done in-person, via email, by phone, or by using the MOAA Legislation Action Center on the MOAA website. However you decide to participate, it is imperative that you do participate. Hearing directly from their constituents is the most effective way to advocate for these important issues.

This year MOAA is focused on The Richard Star Act; The Spouse Hiring Act; and TriCare access to care. Further information may be found on the MOAA website (moaa.org) along with issue papers and talking points.

Our MOAA Council of Virtual Chapters have produced a video to explain and promote the further development and establishment of Virtual Chapters. National MOAA recognizes the important and impactful influence Virtual Chapters have on the overall mission. It all started almost 10 years ago when we began the very first MOAA Virtual Chapter. We have come a long way!

We are proud and thankful to our leadership team and all members who made a commitment as Nurses with a Mission to Never Stop Serving!
