WOCN PUSHES FOR CHANGES TO WHEELCHAIR CUSHION POLICY

The Society attended the Spring Public Policy Forum for the Digestive Disease National Coalition in March. The Public Policy Forum began on Sunday, March 2, with presentations from DDNC member organizations on the latest in digestive disease care, remarks from Members of Congress, impactful digestive disease patient stories, and an overview of current DDNC policy priorities. WOCN presented to the group at this time on the need for federal legislation to address the lack of coverage for spontaneous fistula supplies. The following day WOCN Coalition representative, Emilie Winterton, attended meetings with Congressional offices to advocate on behalf of the digestive disease community.
