Please join HCAF and home care industry advocates from across the nation at the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) Advocacy Day this September 19-20 in Washington, D.C. During this event, advocates will meet with members of Congress or their legislative staff to advance issues facing our growing and evolving industry. This is a chance to share your story with lawmakers and ask that they back policies to bolster your capacity to continue providing high-quality home-based care to patients and families.

Bring your thoughts and ideas on issues like:

• Preventing devastating payment cuts for home health providers
• Expanding access to Medicaid home- and community-based services (HCBS)
• Investing in the home care workforce

Soapbox Consulting, NAHC’s meeting contractor partner, will coordinate scheduling meetings with your lawmakers.

Come to sharpen your voice on issues that matter most to you. It’s the perfect opportunity to share your real-world experiences and data demonstrating how home care and hospice benefit your community.

Plus, advocacy day participants find great value in strengthening relationships with their elected officials and networking with like-minded colleagues.

Registration is required and will open here on Monday, July 10, 2023.
