Join the CAP for our annual Virtual Hill Day on Wednesday, November 18, as members from across the country meet virtually with congressional offices to advocate for policies that affect pathology, laboratories, and patient care.
The impact: Congress is actively considering several issues that could significantly affect the future of our specialty. This year’s advocacy efforts will focus on:
-
Preventing additional Medicare physician payment cuts
-
Addressing physician workforce shortages
-
Advancing the Timely Access to Coverage Decisions Act
The big picture: Lawmakers consistently say that hearing directly from constituents is the best way to communicate how federal policies are affecting patients and health care professionals. Your experience practicing pathology provides a perspective that policymakers can’t get anywhere else.
The good news: No advocacy experience is required.
The CAP will provide everything you need to participate successfully, including:
-
Advocacy training and preparation sessions
-
Issue briefs and talking points
-
A personalized meeting schedule
-
Support from CAP staff and experienced advocates
Bottom line: Whether you’re a first-time advocate or a seasoned participant, Virtual Hill Day is one of the most effective ways to influence federal policy and strengthen pathology’s presence on Capitol Hill.
Help bring the pathologist’s perspective to Congress.
