Cardiology Day at the Capitol: Advocating for a Healthy Ohio
May 10, 2016
The Ohio-ACC held its annual legislative day in Columbus, Ohio. Members visited their Ohio representatives and senators to introduce them to cardiology issues facing them and their patients. Building relationships with state lawmakers helps to ensure that the Ohio General Assembly remains informed about issues facing providers and patients.
We addressed CPR in Schools (House Bill 113), Youth Athletics/Sudden Cardiac Arrest (Senate Bill 252) and Prior Authorization (Senate Bill 129).
