We're grateful for being a part of today’s P&I session on advocacy alongside the @lssco HC and Neighborhood Family Practice. It was a great chance to talk about what advocacy looks like in our day-to-day work and why showing up, speaking out, and advocating for patients matters.

At opening session of the @NACHC Policy and Issues Forum, listening to @KyuRheeMD’s remarks. I ❤️ this slide, which sums up precisely why the CHC Movement has such strong, longstanding bipartisan support. We all #ValueCHCs, Leaders, Employers, Providers, & Partners of Choice! 👏
