Get Involved

There are many pediatric challenges as healthcare and legislative landscapes evolve. PA AAP offers opportunities to help pediatric professionals get involved in healthcare initiatives to help guide effective dialogue. We offer opportunities for participation in legislative action and for operations within the Chapter.

PA AAP Legislative Advocacy Committee

​​The PA AAP Advocacy Committee tracks legislation relevant to children’s health care and related issues, provides testimony on bills, and updates the Executive Board on the state budget process and the specific ways in which it may impact children’s health care. The Committee works in collaboration with other AAP subcommittees and groups who are invested in children’s health care. The goals of the Committee are to consider issues of importance to the children of Pennsylvania that have been affected by local, state, and national legislative action; to research and discuss such issues as they are brought to the attention of the Committee by its members, Chapter members, and others; and to recommend appropriate actions to the Executive Committee after such study and discussion.

​All members are welcome to join this committee. If you are interested in being part of this process, please contact Samantha Pierpoint at spierpoint@paaaap.org and/or see ways in which to become involved below.
