Dr. Smith Goes to Washington: Society Members Unite Legislators With Issues Aimed at Improving Care

On a Thursday in late September, the crowds on Capitol Hill were larger and more energized than usual. The Brett Kavanaugh hearings were being held, the area was crowded with spectators and protestors alike, and people in Washington, DC, were glued to their TVs. In the midst of all this, leaders of AMDA — The Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine arrived on the Hill to meet with legislators and address issues aimed at improving the quality of care for post-acute and long-term care residents.
