Grassroots Advocacy

Enactment of legislation that supports healthcare in West Virginia depends upon the ability of hospitals to effectively communicate their needs to legislators and policymakers.

It is critical that legislators and policymakers have the information they need to understand issues facing the healthcare field as well as to understand the impact those issues have on communities and the jobs people hold in those communities. It is likewise important for constituents to understand the legislative process to effectively educate legislators about healthcare.
