Session Description: This session will provide an in-depth update on NACHC's federal affairs strategy and our priorities on Capitol Hill in 2025 and 2026. The discussion will be timely since Congress will have just acted on health center funding and telehealth in December 2024, a new Congress and a new Administration will take office in January 2025, and health centers will have their Hill Day during February's P&I. The change in leadership in the White House and on the Hill will present new opportunities and new challenges for the health center movement as we seek to advance our priorities, including increased funding, 340B reform, investments in workforce, and sustainable reimbursement.
