Engage With Policymakers On Issues Impacting The Healthcare Supply Chain

2024 is a major election year with every House member and one-third of the Senate on the ballot. This makes it an ideal time to proactively engage and educate policymakers on the critical role the supply chain plays in supporting providers, patients, and federal partners.

Why Your Voice Matters

• Personal visits are powerful. Lawmakers are influenced by the constituents they hear from and the stories they tell.
• Policymakers need to understand your issues. It’s important to help them understand how laws and regulations impact your business and customers.
• Public health responses depend on strong public/private relationships.
