The VGM Government Relations team is proud to announce the launch of its Grassroots Advocacy Toolkit, thoughtfully crafted to support durable medical equipment (DME) professionals, caregivers, industry partners, and patient advocates in advancing legislative initiatives that impact home medical equipment and services.
Purpose-Driven Resources to Amplify Your Voice
This all-in-one toolkit is more than a collection of materials — it's a strategic guide for amplifying your advocacy. Inside, you'll find:
- Issue Briefs: Clear, concise issue briefs outlining key legislative priorities and how they affect access to DME.
- Media Outreach Templates: Ready-to-use press releases to help elevate your message in traditional and digital media spaces.
- Patient Engagement Tools: Thoughtful resources to educate patients and encourage them to share their stories — the real-world impact of DME support.
- Congressional Contact Guides: Scripts, emails, and talking points tailored to help you confidently communicate with your elected officials.
- Printable Handouts: Shareable materials perfect for town halls, provider offices, and community forums that foster public awareness.
Your Advocacy Powers Progress
Change doesn't begin in boardrooms —it begins with individuals who take action. Your voice, your commitment, and your conviction have the power to shift policy and reshape lives. This toolkit is designed with that very belief in mind: that grassroots advocacy can drive national change.
Why Your Role Matters
By using this toolkit and engaging your network, you join a growing movement dedicated to:
- Expanding coverage for vital DME items.
- Strengthening patient access to quality home-based care.
- Protecting the sustainability of providers who serve vulnerable populations. Together, we’re forging a future where dignity, independence, and health equity are not privileges, but guarantees.
Let’s Lead the Way
We invite you to download the toolkit, share it broadly, and take action today. Because when passionate advocates unite behind a cause, progress becomes unstoppable.
Let’s move forward, side by side, until equitable access to DME is not just an aspiration—but a reality for every patient, caregiver, and healthcare provider across America.
