Advocacy Day was a success!
More than 230 care-at-home advocates from across the country gathered in Washington, DC to meet with over 275 congressional offices, advancing key legislative and regulatory priorities to ensure and expand access to home-based care.

Representing Duke Health, Nicole Clagett and Cooper Linton joined the National Alliance for Care at Home to advocate for the future of home health and hospice. Their conversations with lawmakers helped spotlight the pressing issues facing our field and reinforced the importance of strengthening support for care-at-home services.
