McKesson advocates on behalf of specialty practices and providers

We know legislative activity in Washington can have a significant impact on your practice and the patients you treat every day.

Public Policy resources and advocacy tools

This website includes the latest information about public policy initiatives and legislation that impact your specialty practice, providers, and patients. Because “all politics is local,” you will also find resources to support your own advocacy efforts, because it’s more important than ever to get to know your local representatives and educate them about your practice and industry.
