The Cure – Episode 36: 2024 Midsession Legislative Updates in New Hampshire and Vermont

Healthcare legislation advocacy plays a crucial role in shaping policies that affect the health and well-being of individuals and communities. It can lead to positive changes in healthcare systems, making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and equitable while promoting public health and patient rights. Advocacy can address barriers to healthcare access, such as insurance coverage, and geographic availability. It can also focus on addressing health disparities that disproportionately affect certain communities based on race, ethnicity, gender, and income.

In this episode, Courtney Tanner, Director of Government Relations, and Matthew Houde, Vice President of Government Relations, walk us through updates from the 2024 mid-session legislative sessions in New Hampshire and Vermont. Listen in to learn more.
