United Spinal Announces Priorities for Roll on Capitol Hill
United Spinal Association has announced its priority issues for next month’s virtual Roll on Capitol Hill.
In a May 21 bulletin, United Spinal said Roll on Capitol Hill advocates would focus on wheelchair service and repair reform to “reduce extensive repair delays”; legislation that would improve care support via home and community-based services; and Improving rehab outcomes “for people with neurological and paralyzing conditions.”
The 12th annual Roll on Capitol Hill, which will take place as an all-virtual event this year, is scheduled for June 11-13. Past events have featured wheelchair riders, their families, and health-care professionals taking more than 200 meetings with members of Congress, Senators, and their staffers.
