Season 2, Episode 1: Centralization & Distribution - Catherine Matthews

Eric Zimmerman leads UCA's lobbying team at McDermott+ in Washington, D.C.  McDermott+ serves the health industry exclusively, and their team of lawyers, physicians, policy professionals, data analysts and Capitol Hill/government agency veterans brings robust expertise to UCA's Advocacy efforts.

Eric Zimmerman joins UCA CEO Lou Ellen Horwitz to dive into the current state of UCA's efforts to elaborate on the "why" of our strategies and tactics, "how" things get done in Congress and with agencies like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and "when" we might see some impacts for Urgent Care.

Selena and Lou Ellen discuss UCA's advocacy strategy and tactics:  how we got here, what progress we've made, lessons learned and insights gained, and what everyone who works in urgent care (or just loves and believes in it) can be doing to engage with legislators and regulators to make sure we'll always be here when our communities need us.

UCA Chief Executive Officer Lou Ellen Horwitz provides an update on Urgent Care Advocacy and the next steps, both as an organization and an industry.
