ASH Advocacy Center

The ASH Advocacy Center is designed to help advance the mission of the Society by providing a voice for individual hematologists when federal laws and regulations are being developed and when government programs are being funded. More than any professional lobbyist in Washington, D.C., only you can give your federal legislators the most accurate and compelling picture of how the issues before them really affect you and the patients you treat. Please see the campaigns below for things you can start doing today to make a difference.
