Advocacy and Why it Matters: How You Can Make a Difference

Join Marissa Lombardi in this empowering session from the IFFGD 2021 Advocacy Event to explore the importance of advocacy in shaping healthcare policies and improving the lives of those with GI disorders.

In this video, we cover key topics, including:

  • What is advocacy?
  • Key roles of an advocate
  • Why you should contact Congress

IFFGD’s Capitol Hill Advocacy Day has long been a voice for the digestive health community, addressing gaps in federal funding for functional GI and motility disorders research, access to care, and treatment options.
