Announcement

AARC's Virtual Lobby Day August 4th

Hello Everyone

As announced at the House of Delegates meeting in Marco Island, the AARC is launching a "Virtual Lobby Day" set for August 4th where we hope to have a concerted email, letter, phone push on that day to the Hill in support of our Medicare Respiratory Therapy Initiative (HR 1077 and S 343). 

Before the end of today we will have a "Big Button" on the main AARC webpage http://www.aarc.org/ that will take everyone to the special page about the day and a "how to" participate set of instructions.  We will also have a Big Button on our Your Lung Health website http://www.yourlunghealth.org/ that encourages patients, families and caregivers to join in as well.

At the end of next week we will be sending out a mass email to all AARC members announcing the day, with a follow up email just before August 4th.

We hope that in the interim you can ramp up your colleagues and state members to participate. And please feel free to engage your own family and friends to contact the Hill. We really want to make an impact on that day so that the members of Congress and their staff will take notice. We've even provide some tips on how to set up a meeting back in the district (doesn't have to be on the 4th of course) if you or others are so inclined.

Thank you all in advance for your continued support and let's make this a successful day for the respiratory profession and the patients that you serve.
