March on Washington

The annual March on Washington is on for March 6-March 9, 2017!

With a new administration, a new Congress, and a new legislative agenda, it is critical to reach out to our representatives about the policy priorities of home care & hospice. Please amplify the grassroots voice of home care & hospice in Texas by joining your fellow members in our nation's capital. We look forward to advocating for home care & hospice policy priorities, meeting Members of Congress, networking, and seeing the sites!

Members must make their own travel arrangements to DC. Typically advocates arrive Monday and leave Thursday afternoon. Reagan airport is considered more convenient than Dulles airport.

We recommend staying close to Capitol Hill. It is advised to check homestay and travel websites for the best deals. For hotels, we suggest Capital Hill Hotel, The Liaison, Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill, and The Mayflower Autograph Collection.
