Thank you @RepThompson for being a CV care champion! 🏆 #ACCAdvocacy
Honored to receive the @ACCinTouch 2026 President’s Award for Distinguished Public Service. The ACC represents more than 60,000 cardiovascular care professionals. Glad to have them as partners on my CONNECT for Health Act. This act would expand telehealth access for millions of Americans on Medicare.
