A special thank you to everyone who joined us for the HPNA Hill Day Debrief with HPNF!

This interactive session gave attendees an inside look at the key conversations, advocacy efforts, and accomplishments from our September Hill Day meetings in Washington, D.C. It also provided an opportunity to connect with colleagues and reflect on how our collective voices are making an impact.

When reflecting on HPNA on the Hill, one attendee shared:

"You either have a seat at the table or you are on the menu. If we don't show up and use our voices, then we risk becoming invisible."

Read the 2026 HPNA on the Hill Report for a closer look at this year’s advocacy efforts, what to expect following Hill Day, and how you can get involved in HPNA’s advocacy initiatives. https://simplebooklet.com/2026hillonthehillreport
