WiAHC’s grassroots advocacy program is critical to the success of the association’s overall government affairs program. It allows our members to have a voice and influence in shaping public policy that impacts home health care in Wisconsin.

With that in mind, we are pleased to report about WiAHC’s latest legislative advocacy outreach effort.  WiAHC Board member Nicole Naidl recently hosted state lawmaker Rep. Paul Tittl (R-Manitowoc) at Holy Family Memorial Home Care (Manitowoc Medical Center) to discuss WiAHC and home health care in the Badger State.

The meeting, which also included WiAHC Advocacy Director Micheal Welsh, provided a tremendous opportunity to have a conversation about the importance of home health care for Wisconsin patients. Nicole did a great job briefing Rep. Tittl on the value of home health care and WiAHC’s legislative priorities, which focused primarily on the industry’s workforce challenges.  WiAHC would like to thank Nicole for making time to host the meeting. She did a wonderful job leading the discussion and was a fantastic representative of WiAHC. Her passion for home health care was evident and appeared to have a big impact on Rep. Tittl.

As mentioned above, grassroots advocacy is the most powerful tool WiAHC has at its disposal to shape public policy – and building relationships with lawmakers is the most important aspect of grassroots advocacy. The meeting with Rep. Tittl was just the latest endeavor in WiAHC’s goal to connect members with their local legislators. WiAHC encourages all members to participate in this critical grassroots advocacy program.
