Legislative Policy

Featured Story

In 2023, the UPHA Advocacy unit played an integral role in passing legislation to extend Medicaid coverage for postpartum people from 60 days to a full year.  This policy change reduces the risk of illness when people are most vulnerable in the first year after giving birth.

Building up advocates

Featured Story

Day on the Hill is one of our standout events of the year. At the State Capitol, we have policy makers and veteran advocates inspire and educate public health students and professionals on how they can share their expertise and experiences to educate policy makers.   

During the year, we also provide informative webinars on different methods of advocacy such as op-eds and letters to the editor.
