Allergy & Asthma Day on Capitol Hill

May 7

Allergy & Asthma Network invites patients, families, caregivers, health professionals and industry partners from across the country to join us for Allergy & Asthma Day Capitol Hill (AADCH) in Washington, DC.

During AADCH, advocates visit Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress and their staff to…

  • Discuss federal legislative and regulatory issues.
  • Share personal stories of managing their condition.
  • Urge passage of legislation affecting people with asthma, allergies, and related conditions.

Our advocates represent the patient voice at these meetings to ensure their needs are addressed in legislation.

In addition, Allergy & Asthma Network hosts a Congressional Lunch Briefing, one of the signature events of AADCH. Members of Congress are often in attendance to speak about asthma, allergies, and other health issues, and to support our policy priorities.

Invited speakers at the Congressional Lunch Briefing represented:

  • Congressional Asthma and Allergy Caucus
  • Patient testimonials
  • U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
  • National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
  • American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (ACAAI)
