2024 Highlights
AMAC 2024 convened over one hundred ASAM members and addiction medicine experts who participated in 155 meetings on Capitol Hill with policymakers and their staff.
U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan from New Hampshire met with attendees and delivered in-person remarks outlining her addiction policy priorities. The Senator encouraged the group to share their personal stories and testimonies from the frontlines of the addiction crisis during their meetings on Capitol Hill. In a recorded video, U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana also addressed attendees and discussed The SUPPORT Reauthorization Act, which would expand access to evidence-based addiction care.
