CSRC Leadership Storms Capitol Hill!
The CSRC had a very productive day in Washington D.C. this week. We held 30 meetings advocating for our patients and profession, specifically the Supplemental Oxygen Access Reform (SOAR) Act and the sustainable cardiopulmonary rehab services in the home act. Thank you all who have supported these two bills by writing your congressperson and supporting the CSRC!
