Led by AABC Legislative Committee Chair, Jill Alliman and AABC’s lobbyist, Karen Fennell, AABC members are contacting their Congressional Representatives and Senators to make birth centers a priority and to ask them to co-sponsor legislation to mandate the facility fee. Several centers have even had their representatives visit their birth centers. Others have mobilized their consumers into political action.
This legislative effort needs full participation by the birth center community (including childbearing families and other supporters) to make this a priority with the new Congress. We must be the squeaky wheel! Follow the links above to learn more about how you can help. This is critical to our survival!
