How does an IBD patient attend Day on the Hill events and meet
with the offices of congressional representatives in Washington DC?
What is it like to go to these events? In this episode I describe
how I got involved in hill day meetings, why I do it, and what the
process is like to attend. I also offer you my tips on how to make
the best of the time spent in the capital in order to make the
biggest impact on the people who can affect change in the lives of
IBD patients.
