Session Description: This session will provide an in-depth update on NACHC's federal affairs strategy and our priorities on Capitol Hill. A Republican-controlled Congress and Administration present new challenges and opportunities for health centers as we seek to advance our legislative priorities such as funding, 340B reform, investments in workforce, telehealth, and Medicaid coverage.
