Advocacy

AMWA is a leading advocate for women’s health and research.

AMWA works to bring under-addressed issues to the national agenda. AMWA is an active participant in setting national health care policy and influencing legislation on women’s health issues.  During AMWA’s advocacy day on Capitol Hill, we convene in Washington D.C. to discuss the year’s most important topics with our legislators.

Join AMWA’s Advocacy and Policy Committee

Throughout the year, AMWA’s Advocacy and Policy Committee reads and reviews current health policy and upcoming health legislation. Here is a list of letters and amici that AMWA has supported.  Join AMWA’s Advocacy and Policy Committee to:

  • Advise stakeholders on legislation, regulations, and policies at the state and local level
  • Develop Position Papers on key health and policy issues
  • Partner with Coalitions to improve health care access and services
