4th Annual Congressional Luncheon A Success!
Despite heavy rains the morning of PHA’s 4th Annual Congressional Luncheon, the event was a huge success. Eighty-five people representing PH patients, family members, and corporate professionals, as well as their legislative supporters, enjoyed a buffet lunch while listening to a series of powerful speakers, each of whom approach PH from a different perspective. At the close of the luncheon, a number of legislative staff left the room with tears in their eyes.
PH community members used the time after the luncheon to make face-to-face visits in their Representative’s office, resulting in new co-sponsorships for the PH Research and Education Act of 2007 and bringing our total number of co-sponsors up to thirteen.
The next few months will be an important time for the PH community to target the 247 individuals who co-sponsored the PH Research Act of 2005. We know that they support the PH community, now we need them to step up and co-sponsor our new bill. Take Action
