More than 100 advocates will be traveling to Washington, D.C., to visit their lawmakers on March 19, 2013, for Congenital Heart Advocacy Day. Advocates (including those with congenital heart disease, their families and friends, and the medical community) will gather March 18 for a day of training and fellowship with a reception and recognition presentation that evening. Participants will be asking their Members of Congress to support NIH research funding and CDC surveillance efforts. In addition, they will be recruiting Members for the Congressional Congenital Heart Caucus. Thank you to the hundreds of congenital heart patients, families and medical professionals from around the country who continue to make their voices heard on behalf of congenital heart disease, the congenital heart disease researchers and clinicians who provide input to guide our efforts, and the many advocacy experts who shine the light on our path. For more information about the advocacy efforts at the Adult Congenital Heart Association, please contact Amy at abasken@achaheart.org.
