  • 20-NLCAnnualReport.pdf

    Due to the power of these personal stories, NLC staff collaborated with NCSBN’s Legislative Affairs, Marketing & Communications and Interactive Service teams to bring these stories to the forefront. Beginning in January, a seven-part series of NLC success story articles was unveiled and shared via webpage, email distribution and social media. The series featured interviews of stakeholders directly impacted by the NLC. Their impact statements are first- hand accounts of how the NLC increases patient access to care, reduces the burden and cost of having to obtain and apply for multiple licenses and removes barriers and impediments to borderless practice.
