VHCA-VCAL members pose with Sen. Mark Warner at the 2025 Congressional Briefing.

What’s happening: Virginia was well represented at the annual AHCA/NCAL Congressional Briefing earlier this week in Washington, DC.

• Mark Warner offered remarks to the over 700 attendees prior to the visits to Capitol Hill by emphasizing the need for bipartisanship in Congress and support for Medicaid.
• Additionally, over 20 VHCA-VCAL members visited with legislators and staff from the offices of nine of Virginia’s members of Congress to urge them to protect Medicaid and support workforce solutions.
