Dr. Larry Melton, AST board member, represented the AST at a small political fundraising dinner for the Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Chairman Kevin Brady (R-TX) at the Bryan Cave offices on Monday, February 1.
Congressman Brady, a recipient of last year's AST Congressional Leadership Award and attendee of the AST's annual Capitol Hill leadership reception, has primary jurisdiction over most of the AST and transplantation government relations and public policy agenda: HHS, CMS, patient and provider coverages, quality measures, safety, and all policy matters concerning the Medicare Program and the Affordable Care Act (ACA).
