    From Advocacy to Action

    This episode, I got to sit down with our brand-new CEO Steve Sellars, plus Eric Zimmerman and Amy Kelbick from McDermott+ to talk about a huge step forward for our advocacy efforts: CMS has officially included us in the latest Medicare Physician Fee Schedule proposed rule. 🎉   We dig into what this means, why it’s a massive leap forward for our advocacy work, and, most importantly, how you can help keep the momentum rolling. Think of it as a fast, punchy crash course on a game-changing moment… with just enough humor to make policy talk surprisingly fun.

April also shares her favorite tips, tricks, and little hacks to keep advocacy effective, impactful, and (believe it or not) fun.
