Public Policy & Advocacy

Have a voice in NE Legislation

As a chapter, we are always watching bills coming through the Nebraska legislature.  Do you have opinions on current legislation?  Or perhaps you have a connection to a Nebraska lawmaker and would like to make contact with Chapter leaders.  If so, please take a moment to email the chairs of the chapter Health & Public Policy Committee, Dr. Marvin Bittner or Dr. Stephanie Hartman.

ACP Leadership Day on Capitol Hill

ACP’s annual national advocacy event, Leadership Day, will take place in Washington, D.C. this year on May 14-15. Leadership Day enables the College to increase its presence on Capitol Hill and advocate directly with Congress in support of legislation directly impacting internal medicine physicians and their patients. To help our members prepare for Leadership Day, we have developed a frequently asked questions (FAQs) document with logistical information for the event. The FAQs can be accessed here.
