title: A home care visit with Congressman Jim Gerlach: fighting to help chronically ill seniors.
abstract: Taking your legislator on a home care visit is one of the best ways to make a lasting connection. The more first-hand knowledge they have, the more informed they will be when they address legislation that affects the industry. They need to understand what home care does and how important home care is to the patients it serves. They also need to realize that home care can cut costs and improve the delivery of health care in the United States. This is what Congressman Jim Gerlach (R-PA) concluded after he made a home care visit last month.
