Advocacy Efforts and Funding Successes

We welcome Dr. Christina Downey back onto our show, this time LIVE from Convergence 2023! You may remember Dr. Downey from Episode 46: Empathy and Wellness , but today she comes to us in another capacity: in her continuing role as Chair of the ACR’s Government Affairs Committee! Listen in as she discusses what our collective voice in Washington has done for our patients in 2023, what are the current issues rheumatology faces “on The Hill” and lastly, what you can do to be heard!
