Next week marks the beginning of the annual month-long break
when Members of Congress return to their home states for a prolonged work
period. This is a great time for AHCA/NCAL members to meet with their
Representatives and Senators during facility tours and town halls.
The August recess is typically a time where AHCA/NCAL
members schedule hundreds of meetings with their Members of Congress. Lawmakers
are particularly eager to meet with constituent providers and residents during
an election year to hear from voters on what issues are affecting them.
Both the House and Senate will be out the first week of
August for state and district work periods. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell
announced earlier this year that the Senate recess will be abbreviated, and
members will return to Washington for the remaining weeks of August. House
Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he has no plans for representatives to
shorten their August recess.
AHCA/NCAL has numerous resources for members who would like
to host a facility tour during the August recess. Online, members can access facility
tour guides as well as the most recent issue
briefs for post-acute and long term care policy. If members need further
assistance, they can contact Matt Smyth or
Drew Thies.
