PAWTUCKET – If returned to office, Sen. Lori Urso has pledged to continue to focus on primary care, and meeting the needs of the older adults and adults with disabilities.
Urso, who serves on the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services, saids he has championed legislation to expand opportunities for physicians in community health centers, enabled certified footcare nurses to provide in-home services, and that targets harmful practices of the pharmaceutical industry in an effort to lower costs.
“I will continue to explore ways to alleviate barriers to care, including cost and access,” she said in a release, “as well as how to better protect private medical facilities from potential risk due to private equity takeover.”
Urso also passed legislation to create a registration plate for vehicles adapted for individuals with mobility impairment, to eliminate the inconvenience of hang tags. “Even small changes can make a huge difference in the quality of life for our citizens.”
