You are invited to attend the 29th annual Allergy & Asthma Day Capitol Hill (AADCH) advocacy day on Wednesday, May 6 in Washington, DC.

Join fellow advocates to meet with members of Congress and their staff, and lend your voice on behalf of millions of people living with asthma, allergies and related conditions in the United States. This is your chance to help shape policies that improve lives and protect patient access to care.

This year’s AADCH theme is “The Prescription for Progress: Bridging the Gap in Patient Affordability & Access.” We are highlighting the urgent need to remove financial and systemic barriers that keep people from getting the healthcare and medications they need.

When you meet with members of Congress, you will…

Lend your voice on critical legislative and regulatory issues – and ensure that patients’ needs are given priority.
Urge your Congress members to support key legislation involving asthma, allergy and related conditions.
Share your personal story as a patient, caregiver.
Discuss the latest research on asthma and allergy care and how it can impact public health policy.

AADCH is a free event for attendees. Registration is required. Check-in, reception and a pre-AADCH briefing will be held at:

Hilton Capitol Hill
525 New Jersey Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20001

Registration is open to the first 125 advocates. Later registrants will be waitlisted.
