2017 Legislative Day in Columbus

Cardiology Day at the Capitol: Advocating for a Healthy Ohio

May 2, 2017

The Ohio-ACC held its annual legislative day in Columbus, Ohio. Members visited their Ohio representatives and senators to introduce them to cardiology issues facing them and their patients. Building relationships with state lawmakers helps to ensure that the Ohio General Assembly remains informed about issues facing providers and patients.

We addressed Increased Taxes on Tobacco and Other Tobacco Products  (House Bill 49 budget), Medical Liability Reform (House Bill 7), Step Therapy (House Bill 72/Senate Bill 56), and Telemedicine (House Bill 49 budget).

Video Interviews: You will enjoy these interviews with Ohio-ACC members discussing why advocacy is so important. Watch now >>>
