Every year, the Government Affairs Office (GAO) travels the state to connect with our service offices about our legislative priorities and the importance of advocacy. Not only do these visits give us the opportunity to share the work we do to improve the state of home health care in New Jersey, but they also give us the unique chance to hear about the challenges you all often face in attempting to deliver the compassionate, excellent, and reliable care that our clients deserve.

Throughout our visits so far, we have been able to celebrate our collective successes and accomplishments. In 2018, our GAO Ambassadors and service office employees attended a number of district office visits and legislative receptions, and participated in phone banks, letter writing campaigns, and action alerts all in support of accomplishing legislative priorities that support our nurses, aides, clients, and families. Without your partnership and collaboration, we would be unable to deliver on our promise to act as the voice for BAYADA and its clients and employees.

In addition to celebrating last year’s successes, we have worked together to identify ongoing challenges and to form our 2019 legislative priorities and strategies. As we’ve formed these priorities, it is clear that our grassroots efforts and your continued commitment to advocacy will be integral to achieving our goals.

Thank you to the many offices who have made the time to meet with us. In 2019, we will continue our outreach effort to accomplish our goal of meeting with 100% of our New Jersey service offices.
