A Summerville lawmaker will pre-file a bill this week in the state Legislature that would lift restrictions on advanced nurses, despite anticipated push-back from some doctors.
Rep. Jenny Horne, R-Summerville, an attorney, said her bill is an attempt to improve health care access in rural areas.
“We still have a shortage of primary care physicians and this will be in the best interest of the health and welfare of the citizens of South Carolina,” Horne said.
