As a chapter, we are always watching bills coming through the Nebraska legislature. Do you have opinions on current legislation? Or perhaps you have a connection to a Nebraska lawmaker and would like to make contact with Chapter leaders. If so, please take a moment to email the chair of the chapter Health & Public Policy Committee, Dr. Stephanie Hartman.
ACP’s annual national advocacy event, Leadership Day, will be held in 2025 on Monday, April 28 – Tuesday, April 29 at the Westin Washington, DC Downtown Hotel, located at 999 9th Street, NW, in Washington, DC. Please mark your calendars so you can join us!
Leadership Day enables the College to increase its presence on Capitol Hill and advocate directly with Congress in support of legislation directly impacting internal medicine physicians and their patients. ACP members will receive in-depth briefings on the College’s legislative priorities and an opportunity to meet with elected officials. To help our members prepare for Leadership Day, we have developed a frequently asked questions (FAQs) document with logistical information for the event. The FAQs can be accessed here.
Note that Leadership Day is being held earlier next year (in April) and on a Monday – Tuesday combination (not on Tuesday – Wednesday as is typical).
More details about the event will follow, but if you have questions regarding Leadership Day in the meantime, please contact Shuan Tomlinson at stomlinson@acponline.org or 800-338 -2746, ext. 4547.
ACP's State Health Policy program helps internal medicine physicians gain influence in their state capitols on issues affecting them and their patients. Learn more about key policy issues impacting states, how ACP members can act, and other available tools and resources.
