Nurse.org provided continuing coverage of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Labor & Industry Secretary Nancy A. Walker visiting Temple Women & Families on March 6th to highlight investments included in the Governor’s 2025-26 budget proposal aimed at tackling Pennsylvania’s nursing shortage and strengthening the Commonwealth’s health care workforce. The governor’s budget proposal includes a first-time state-level investment of $5 million to create the Nurse Shortage Assistance Program, which will provide funding to health systems like Temple that partner with nursing schools to cover tuition costs for students who commit to a three-year work placement at sponsoring Pennsylvania hospitals after graduation.
Weather Alert: A major winter storm is likely to impact the Philadelphia region this weekend into Monday. Temple Health remains open, though some appointments or services may be adjusted. Patients will be contacted directly if their visit is affected. Please check TempleHealth.org for updates and monitor myTempleHealth for changes to scheduled appointments.
