Genetics Day 2010
 |
Fifth Annual Genetics Day on the Hill 8:30 am - 5:00 pm |
Genetics Day on the Hill brings together a cross-section of the health community--including disease advocacy organizations, researchers, healthcare providers, industry representatives, students, families, and individuals. Participants visit the offices of their elected officials to educate Congress about health and healthcare. As Congress heatedly debates health reform, there is no better time for health advocates to collaborate with policymakers on transforming systems for what matters: improved health.
Prior to Genetics Day on the Hill
Registrants participate in educational trainings on cutting-edge issues in health and genetics. These include public access to federally funded research, health information technology, and key pathways, oversight, and funding challenges for the development of innovative tests and treatments. Registrants learn strategies for successful communication with members of Congress, and learn tactics to get the most out of the unique experience.
Day of the Event
Genetic Alliance staff and experienced advocates guide participants in small groups through a day of briefings and meetings with Congressional offices. Genetics Day on the Hill provides an unparalleled networking opportunity as participants collaborate with one another, share in their successes, and form lasting partnerships.
