Advocacy Day 2012

I recently found out that my RE attended Advocacy Day!  He was the only physician advocating on Capitol Hill :)  I had my last RE appt today, and we discussed it in length.  I am so proud and impressed that he was a part of this.  He told me how much it bothers him that many patients are forced to make treatment decisions based on financial reasons, rather than their actual care.  He is currently setting up appointments with our local congressmen/women and State Senators to discuss what an important bill the Family Act is.  Just thought I'd share, since it's always nice to know when someone has our back.

    He sat at my table for the morning training Resolve put on.  It was really nice to see a RE there.  CA, TX and AZ attendees get grouped together since there are so few from west coast states.
