CONGRESSMAN ROBERT ADERHOLT RECEIVES HEALTHCARE LEADERSHIP AWARD

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville) has been named a “Champion of Healthcare Innovation” by the Healthcare Leadership Council in Washington D.C. The Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC) is a coalition of leaders and chief executives of the nation’s premier health care companies and organizations.

“Our healthcare industry is extremely important to me and all Americans because it impacts every man, woman, boy, and girl in this nation and I’m honored to receive this recognition,” said Congressman Aderholt. “Most Americans agree with me that the recent health care law that passed Congress in the summer will limit patient’s choices and negatively impact quality. Almost everywhere I go, people tell me that they’re concerned about this new legislation. I think you might see the new Congress try to repeal or replace the law with a common-sense, responsible solution that tries to address the cost of healthcare and provide more coverage to Americans without a government takeover.”

Congressman Aderholt was presented with this award at a day-long event, on September 28th, which was dedicated to showcasing new developments in health care technologies, treatments and practices. This year’s event featured, among other displays, new technologies in treating diabetes and kidney disease as well as digital health coaching programs to help people improve their own well-being.

“Our nation’s healthcare innovators are constantly developing new techniques and technologies to extend and enhance our lives, but we know there’s a great deal of work to be done to achieve the optimal healthcare system Americans need and deserve,” said HLC president Mary R. Grealy. “We’re grateful for Congressman Aderholt’s leadership, dedication and hard work in advancing the quality, accessibility and cost-effectiveness of American healthcare.”

During the past 3 weeks, Congressman Aderholt has also been awarded the National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) “Guardian of Small Business” award and the National Tax Limitation Committee (NTLC) “Tax Fighter Award.”
