Advocacy Day is right around the corner with less than two weeks until nearly 1,000 grassroots advocates gather in Madison for a day of learning and advocating on important health care issues facing our state.
This year's event will be held at the Monona Terrace in Madison on Wednesday, April 19, 2023, and will feature former governors Jim Doyle and Tommy G. Thompson for a moderated discussion with WHA President and CEO Eric Borgerding. Additionally, WHA will have an outstanding legislative panel with lawmakers from parties who serve on the powerful budget-writing Joint Finance Committee.
There is no cost to attend Advocacy Day, but pre-registration is required.

Legislative Visits
WHA would like to remind advocates to sign up for the grassroots legislative visits as a part of this event. These visits are an opportunity to directly connect with your state lawmakers on health care issues and share your experiences in your hospital or health system.
All legislative visits will take place at the State Capitol at 2:15 p.m. and 3:00 p.m., following the formal Advocacy Day program. Transportation is provided. WHA staff schedule all legislative visits based on individuals' home address.
