PHA Legislative Fly-in
We need you and other individuals at your hospital to attend the PHA Legislative Fly-In on December 6th and 7th. Come to Washington and tell Members of Congress why POHs must be allowed to expand, educate them on the high-quality and low-cost care you provide, and demonstrate your continued commitment to patient access and excellent patient satisfaction.
The lame duck session of Congress at the end of the year is our best opportunity to pass pro-POH legislation this year, so it is vitally important that we have all hands on deck for this event. PHA has built significant momentum and support for HR 2513, but no one knows your story like you do. Your Representative and Senators need to hear from you, and the PHA Fly-In is an excellent opportunity to have your voice heard.
PHA will schedule all meetings on Capitol Hill and provide all necessary meeting materials.
Please follow these links to register online for the December fly-in and to book your lodging at the Liaison Capitol Hill for our special rate (deadline November 15).
