Andrew Freeman, MD, FACC, got heart healthy with Rep. Mike Coffman and a large number of patients recently at a Denver, CO, Walk With a Doc program. "This was a great opportunity to talk with – and show – Rep. Coffman how the ACC is advancing patient care," Freeman said. "Also, I found out that not only is he an advocate for heart health but as a former Marine he is an advocate for overall health doing 500 pushups every single day." Freeman is just one example of how participation in ACC's advocacy efforts can help foster relationships with lawmakers.
