The Oregon ACC and the OMA Legislative Day - March 17, 2011
The Oregon ACC and the OMA Met in Salem on March 17th for the Annual OMA Legislative Day! Meetings with legislators were scheduled, and participants Governor Sandy Lewis, Advocacy Chair Kirk Walker, CCA Member Sharon Dickinson, PA-C, Treasurer Vince Reyes and Chapter Administrator Alan Morasch were treated to some special meetings with Senator Peter Courtney, Senator Mark Hass, Senator Alan Bates and Representative Tim Freeman (all powerhouses in the Oregon Legislature on medical issues). We had several opportunities to share concerns that the cardiovascular care speciality is experiencing, and made some real inroads to strengthening our connections with the Oregon delegation. Special thanks to Cascade Cardiology for organizing and hosting the post-session reception. Below are a few images of our Day at the Capitol!
