Ask Members of Congress Where They Stand on Health and Research
AACN has partnered with Research!America and the Albert and Mary Lasker Foundation on Your Congress-Your Health, an important new initiative creating a dialogue on health and research between Congress and the public.
PARADE magazine launched the initiative in its March 11, 2008 issue asking readers what they would like to ask Congress about health. The response was overwhelming, and the article received more online comments than any PARADE story to date. This feedback shaped a questionnaire recently sent to all members of Congress to get their positions on record about a range of health related issues.
Encourage your Congressional delegation to let you know where they stand on medical research and other health-related issues by responding to the Your Congress-Your Health questionnaire.
Visit www.yourcongressyourhealth.org now to see what questions we’re asking Congress, and return in June to see where they stand on these issues that affect us all.
Other Your Congress-Your Health partners include AARP, the Alzheimer’s Association, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, Association of American Medical Colleges, Association of Schools of Public Health, The Endocrine Society, The Joseph H. Kanter Family Foundation, the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, Revolution Health and the Society for Neuroscience. |
