The AST is your voice and seat at the table on Capitol Hill, within the Executive Branch, Federal Agencies, and in many state capitols and legislatures. These governmental bodies oversee most aspects of transplant patient care and medical research. The field of organ transplantation is heavily regulated and frequently addressed by federal and state leaders.
The AST maintains a strong bipartisan and bicameral presence to educate, cultivate, and mobilize support for our public policy agenda. Members of Congress, their staff, and senior Department of Health & Human Services officials work closely with AST members and our Washington, DC, government relations team daily.
