We’re dedicated to giving care providers the information they need to advocate both on Capitol Hill and in their statehouses.  With our tools, resources and how-to guides, it’s easy speak out, stay informed and take action on issues affecting long term and post-acute care.​​

Your Elected Officials Need to Hear from You!

Congress has many challenges to tackle and it is as necessary for the voice of long term care to be heard. Members of Congress value their constituents’ opinions and it is critical that we offer them the opportunity to see first-hand the quality care that we provide.
 
We encourage you to reach out to your Member of Congress and invite them to tour your facility.
 
AHCA/NCAL staff stands ready to help you schedule these tours and provide you with valuable resources. Please contact Matt Smyth or Angela Sargent for additional details and materials.

Host a Facility Tour

Curious about hosting a Member of Congress at your facility? We have tips and tools available to help you. Check out our “How To” Guide to Facility Tours for Elected Officials for tips on best practices including a sample agenda, invitations, and thank you letters.

Attend a Town Hall Meeting

While Members of Congress are at home for district work periods, many will host town hall meetings with their constituents. We encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity to meet with your elected officials, share your story, and advocate against additional cuts to skilled nursing facilities. For a schedule of town hall meetings in your area, please contact Angela Sargent.​
