Cardiology Day at the Capitol:
Advocating for a Healthy Ohio

You are cordially invited to join the Ohio-ACC for a special legislative day in Columbus, Ohio. This will be a day of visiting your Ohio representatives and senators to introduce them to cardiology issues facing you and your patients. Building relationships with your state lawmakers will help ensure that the Ohio General Assembly remains physician friendly. There is no charge for the event, and appointments with your lawmakers will be made for you. Parking will be validated.
