ACEP Virtual Hill Day Focuses on COVID-19 Response

On April 28, ACEP’s Virtual Hill Day—a reimagining of our annual Leadership & Advocacy Conference—gave nearly 500 emergency physicians the opportunity to speak directly with their state legislators about COVID-19 concerns. Participants representing 45 states conducted 306 conference calls in small, state-based groups. ACEP members shared stories about their experiences on the front lines of the pandemic while advocating for our key COVID-19 issues: personal protective equipment (PPE), liability, hazard pay, and coverage.
