Defending funding for critical cardiovascular research and related health programs has been a key focus of the ACC over the past year, and in early February, Congress passed an appropriations package that increased funding for the National Institutes of Health, maintained funding for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and boosted funding for valvular heart disease research and awareness initiatives. Join us Oct. 4-6 at ACC Legislative Conference in Washington, DC, to continue promoting evidence-based policies that advance the field and improve outcomes for all. At the conference, you will hear from health policy experts, connect with ACC leaders and work with your fellow colleagues to educate lawmakers about ACC-priority bills. Additionally, for the first time this year, continuing education credit will be offered in conjunction with the conference! Credit information coming soon. Learn more and register today.
