Nov
2026
Description
Public policy advocacy is a powerful tool for improving liver health outcomes. Yet many health care practitioners and patients feel they lack the time, experience, or resources to engage effectively. This interactive community conversation brings together clinicians and patient representatives to explore practical strategies for influencing policy—even with limited bandwidth. Attendees learn how small actions can lead to big changes, discover ways to amplify their voices, and leave with actionable steps to advocate for liver health at local, state, and national levels.
