Join us for Healthcare Day on May 17, hosted by FiscalNote, as we delve into the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare from various angles. This event will explore global issues, federal policy, advocacy, and state and local policy. Take a look at the comprehensive schedule below.
In 2023, the United States Congress is gearing up to renew several crucial public health policies, including the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act (PAHPA) and the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The forthcoming reauthorization of PAHPA presents an opportunity to address critical challenges such as the public health workforce, data and communication, and financing. Furthermore, Congress is expected to tackle access issues, including mandatory funding for federally qualified health centers. Additionally, there is bipartisan interest in continuing to support value-based payments and improving the coordination of long-term services and supports for individuals with disabilities and older Americans.
All of this underscores the significance of 2023 for professionals in government affairs and advocacy, who must ensure that policymakers consider the priorities of their respective organizations on crucial public health and healthcare matters.
