Being able to make change in home care starts with advocacy. We advocate every day for our patients in their homes, but what about advocating further to key decision-makers who oversee regulations and laws that impact us? This presentation will explain what advocacy is, where to find the right people to talk to, and how you can effectively share your story. By working together, we can educate legislators and regulatory leaders on how their decisions impact our patients and ensure that access to quality of care remains paramount.
