This Thursday, July 15, the Genetics Alliance, a nonprofit health advocacy organization, is leading the fifth annual Genetics Day on the Hill, a day of advocacy where disease advocacy organizations, health professionals, researchers, industry representatives, families and students meet with elected officials to help educate them on important issues related to health and genetics.

Participants will visit the offices of their elected officials to discuss key issues including public engagement in clinical research, public access to federally funded research results and genetic testing oversight. Participants will share personal and corporate stories about what is important to them and their families, work, and communities in the context of these issues.
