Ohio-ACC members headed to Washington, DC, for the 2009 ACC Legislative Conference September 13-15, 2009. The conference brought together more than 350 ACC members from nearly every state to learn more about current issues facing the cardiovascular community, including the proposed 2010 Physician Fee Schedule, health care reform, medical malpractice and state advocacy. After spending a day learning about all the issues, the members went to Capitol Hill to meet with our legislators and ask for their support of these issues.
