Advocacy Day!

from Living Chronic · host Brandy Schantz

Send us Fan MailThis week I participated in Crohn's & Colitis Foundation's Advocacy Day on the Hill. It's important that we as patients advocate for ourselves, not just in the medical setting, but in the policy setting as well. This week we advocated for 2 bills in particular, Safe Step Act and HELP Copays but there is so much more that can be done to help patients and the disabled. Let's get involved and do what we can to save ourselves! Support the show
