Texans Descend on U.S. Capitol for Congressional BriefingMore than a dozen THCA members pounded the pavement at the U.S. Capitol last month to advocate for the needs of long term care. The visits were part of the American Health Care Association’s annual Congressional Briefing on May 24, which brings providers and advocates from across the nation to lobby Congress. THCA members met personally with Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-Austin); Congressman Michael Burgess (R-Flower Mound); Congressman Gene Green (D-Houston); and Congressman Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands), who chairs the House Ways & Means Committee. In addition, THCA members met with staff members for both Texas senators and seven more members of the state’s congressional delegation.

THCA members also talked about quality improvements being made in facilities and the importance of long term care to the economies of Texas and each congressional district. |
