 On Tuesday, March 12th, members of the Alpha-1 and COPD Community are joining the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) on Capitol Hill. The primary purpose of this Lobby Day is to advocate on behalf of the Medicare Respiratory Therapy Initiative and to educate legislators on the special needs of individuals living with Alpha-1 and COPD.
Help make both your Senators and your Representatives in the House aware of this Initiative before our advocates arrive in Washington DC. The message can be changed if you wish, the more original the better.
