From the Clinic to the Capitol: 340B Advocacy Insights for Future Change
Passing legislation is never simple, but with the right mix of strategy, coalition-building, and persistence, it is possible. In this session, key advocates and stakeholders will share the behind-the-scenes story of a successful 340B policy win, tracing the journey from local concerns to statewide action.
In a conversation moderated by TPCA's Policy and Advocacy Manager, Emily Waitt Hise, panelists will reflect on the moments that mattered—what sparked momentum, where roadblocks emerged, and how collaboration helped move policy forward. Their experiences offer not only a look into how change happens, but a roadmap for how it can happen again. Attendees will leave with practical insights on engaging policymakers, mobilizing support, and navigating the legislative process to protect access to care.
Panelists:
- Senator Richard Briggs
- Shannon Burger, DSc, MBA, CPA, Cempa Community Care
- Representative Esther Helton-Haynes
- Garrett Johnson, Johnson Capitol Solutions LLC
