It's been a good week for public health on Capitol Hill! As part of ASTHO's Spring Leadership Meeting, state & territorial health officials engaged with federal representatives & officials to discuss public health priorities including #PHIG, #WIC, #Medicaid, & #COFA.
Dr. Heidi Miller, Chief Medical Officer at @HealthyLivingMo discusses opportunities to support and increase the physician workforce in Missouri. To note, she mentioned the importance of increasing J-1 visa waivers and expanding graduate medical education slots.
This week's #FederalHealthPolicyUpdate recaps all developments ASTHO has been monitoring throughout the fall in terms of policy. Get a full summary here: bit.ly/49Hy1gF #CapitolHill #GovernmentShutdown
“Health is the byproduct of justice….” - Norman Daniels
On today's #PHRME newscast, Dr. Karen Smith (ASTHO alum-CA) emphasizes a #OneHealth approach; ASTHO's @jeffreyekoma tracks congressional activity & budget progress; & @healthvermont's Dr. Mark Levine shares climate change health impacts. bit.ly/3tWTiT8 #OneHealthDay
“Sometimes you have to take two steps back, to take ten forward.” - Hussle
It was a great pleasure to join Paula Nickelson (Director) and Ben Terrell (Legislative Director) of @HealthyLivingMo in meetings with members of the Missouri congressional delegation!
In a shocking turn, the House just took an overwhelmingly bipartisan vote to avert a shutdown at midnight tonight, with the majority of Democrats bailing out the GOP. The bill now goes to the Senate, where it is likely to pass just before the shutdown deadline.…
BREAKING: On the brink of a federal government shutdown, the House approved a 45-day funding bill to keep federal agencies open. The measure now goes to the Senate. apnews.com/article/govern…
NEWS: House Freedom Caucus will send a letter to Speaker Kevin McCarthy today asking what the next steps are in the shutdown and approps strategy.
It was great collaborating with Catherine Jones and colleagues from @DC_AMCHP @ruralhealth to discuss the impact of a potential (!?!?!?) government shutdown on public health! #FundHealth
Our Executive Director, Erin Morton, and CHF member, Jeffrey Ekoma from @ASTHO, on the Hill this morning rocking those buttons!! #FundHealth

I'm honored to officially become the President Pro Tempore of the Senate today. It's not lost on me the significance of what it means to be the first woman to serve in this role. This is another sign that slowly but surely, Congress is looking more like America.
I am surprised about the following things: 1) No one has motioned to make this a secret ballot or to change the threshold. 2) no one has nominated Scalise.
