AHCA/NCAL is preparing for another summer and fall full of
facility tours for Members of Congress on the campaign trail. As lawmakers wrap
up their last pieces of must-pass legislation, long term and post-acute care providers
are prepared to show them the important care the deliver to millions of
Americans.
The midterm elections are November 6th which
means all Representatives and a third of the Senate will be campaigning in
their districts and states this year. Legislative activity usually slows down
in an election year, as lawmakers try to avoid votes on controversial bills and instead
spend time with constituents.
AHCA/NCAL members are ready to showcase the significant
improvements in quality skilled nursing and assisted living providers have made
in recent years. Every year, AHCA/NCAL coordinates hundreds of tours to better
educate lawmakers on the long term and post-acute care sector.
Members of Congress benefit both from being able to meet
constituents in their communities as well as from learning about important
health care issues affecting providers. In some districts, these communities
are the largest employer in the district.
If you would like to schedule or host a facility tour,
please contact Matt Smyth at msmyth@ahca.org or 202-898-2817.
