From the Clinic to the Capitol: ADHA's Advocacy Day in Action (Ep 180)

ADHA has been building its federal presence, and this spring marked a milestone: members on Capitol Hill for the profession's first formal lobby day in 20 years. President Lancette VanGuilder and Advocacy Advisory Committee Chair Alyssa Aberle sit down with Matt Crespin to break down what brought the Advocacy Advisory Committee, ADHA leadership and sponsoring organizations to Washington on April 16, with three specific asks spanning community water fluoridation, Medicaid and Medicare reimbursement for hygienists, and expanded FSA/HSA access for oral care products. They share what the reception was really like, why some offices had never met with a dental hygienist before, and what it felt like to walk through their own state's office doors and make the case for the profession. The follow-ups are already coming in. This is what showing up looks like. Guests: Alyssa Aberle, MBA, RDH, FADHA; Lancette VanGuilder, BS, RDH, PHEDH, CEAS, FADHA Host: Matt Crespin, MPH, RDH, FADHA
