Showcasing SHIPs: HAP to Host Workshops at National Conference

Each year Families USA, HAP's parent organization, hosts a conference that brings together health care advocates from across the country to share field strategies and learn more about what the latest legislative developments mean for health care. This year's conference will focus on the health reform effort and what comes next. HAP has been invited to present two workshops showcasing the ongoing work by SHIPs, who advocate on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries everywhere.

Held on January 28-30, in Washington, D.C., this conference is a great opportunity to highlight the partnership between HAP and SHIPs. We are excited to lead the following workshops:

SHIPs & Policy: Helping Medicare Beneficiaries
This workshop will showcase the efforts SHIPs have made in public education and policy activities in different states, and will highlight the role SHIPs have played in improving the lives of Medicare beneficiaries' access to care.

Senior Advocacy Networks: Building Successful Models
This workshop takes a broader look at various organizations in select states that advocate on behalf of seniors. Participants will share examples of successful models and how they work together with other partners and advocates, including the SHIP advocate model.  

In the past many of you have attended Health Action conference, and we hope to see you this year!

Sincerely,
The HAP Team
