Overview
Join us in the Nation’s Capital on December 3-4, 2024, to make a difference in the lives of millions of people who are waiting for a Community Health Center. Health centers serve one in ten people nationwide, but we know that 100 million Americans struggle to access primary care today. That’s nearly one-third of the U.S. population who may not be getting the routine and preventive care they need to stay healthy. Investing in primary care not only saves lives, it also saves money.
NACHC, a leader in responding to the growing demand for primary care across the country, is organizing a National Fly-In Day with health center advocates from across the country. Congress will have some big decisions in the lame-duck session coming out of the November election. Your voice is needed as we push for increased funding and policies to ensure sustainability for health centers and the 32.5 million patients you serve.
We are looking for interested advocates to fly to Washington on Tuesday, December 3, and schedule congressional visits for Wednesday, December 4.
NACHC plans to host a prep event on December 3 from 6:00-8:00pm at the Royal Sonesta Hotel – Capitol Hill. We will convene to discuss talking points and distribute materials for legislative visits. Attendance at the prep event is strongly encouraged, but not required. Please RSVP for the prep event as part of your registration if you plan to attend. Details are currently being finalized and subject to change.
We have also scheduled a fly-in prep webinar for Friday, November 15 at 1pm ET. Register for the webinar.
Our message to Congress is clear:
- Fund health centers
- Expand telehealth access
- Support primary care workforce pipeline programs
- Pass bipartisan legislation to protect 340B for health centers and patients
If you have other questions about the fly-in, please email grassroots@nachc.org.
