WASHINGTON, DC – HME Advocates head to Capitol Hill this week, but providers who are unable to attend can have a positive impact on the HME community and policy in 2019 and beyond. AAHomecare encourages providers at home to take action on May 22 and 23.
If you have a personal relationship with your legislators, please call and talk to them or their healthcare staff about the issues affecting your business and patients. If you feel more comfortable e-mailing, AAHomecare’s Action Center offers letters to help you take action and emphasize the issues being discussed in offices this week. Please watch our social media channels for further information #ONEVOICEFORHME.
