Good morning, commissioners. My name is Erin Olszewski, and I support the Collier Health Freedom Bill of Rights Ordinance and the Health Freedom Resolution. As a mother, registered nurse, and combat veteran, I advocate for patients and families. During the pandemic, I worked in a New York COVID ICU, witnessing troubling practices: patients denied family advocacy, banned treatments, and financial incentives for admissions. Many patients died unnecessarily, and I recorded evidence of unethical behavior among medical staff. The last line of defense for patients is a good nurse, and when nurses are restricted, it leads to tragic outcomes. We need your support to ensure this never happens again. This issue affects everyone, and I urge you to consider the implications for all families. Thank you for your time.
