- Six ways to fuel advocacy in 2026
Advocacy makes a difference for pathologists and patients. With 2026 being another critical year, your voices support your practices, labs, and patients.
Here are six ways to jumpstart your advocacy in 2026.
- Join PathNET: Become a member of PathNET, the CAP’s grassroots advocacy network, for the latest on legislative issues and policies pertinent to pathology.
- Use our Action Alert Center: Our updated Action Alert Center allows you to reach out to Congress directly about critical issues affecting pathologists and patients, including stopping payment cuts.
- Sign up for grassroots text alerts: Opt-in and never miss the latest advocacy news with our text alerts. (No more than three texts per month.)
- Host a laboratory tour: Invite your member of Congress to visit your labs! Give them a behind-the-scenes tour and educate them on the critical services pathologists provide. Use our Lab Tours Toolkit to get started.
- Attend HODPLS 2026: Don’t miss this year’s House of Delegates and Pathologists Leadership Summit, April 25–28, in Washington, DC. This is one of many opportunities for you and your colleagues to meet with lawmakers and discuss key policies that will shape the future of pathology. Registration details coming soon!
- Follow the CAP on social media: Get vocal on social and share content with your followers.
