Join us February 20 for the KRHA’s Legislative Conference in partnership with the Area Health Education Centers. This is a great opportunity to hear from health advocates about some of the key policy issues facing Kentucky’s health care provider community and our citizens. After the morning sessions, KHRA and AHEC will host a luncheon for the legislators and their staff. This is a great chance for you to speak one-on-one with your Representative and Senator during our informal lunch.
The KRHA encourages attendees to contact your Senators and Representatives in advance of the conference to remind them about the lunch and let them know you would love to see them there. You can find contact information for your Legislator at http://www.lrc.ky.gov/Legislators.htm.
