bringing decision makers Together
Public policy is a serious business. Patient access to innovation, regulations, taxes, workforce, infrastructure, investment opportunities and many other critical factors that affect the future of healthcare are driven by public policymakers. We deliver the expertise, influence and engagements with public policymakers to shape the evolution of healthcare.
You make a difference. We deliver your story. The Medical Alley Association brings your voice and your issues directly to decision makers in St. Paul and Washington, DC. As a trusted association with deep relationships, we work with public officials to influence, educate and ultimately build strong coalitions around the significance of our healthcare innovators.
2022 Legislative Year in Review
The 2022 legislative session was unique, as the biennial state budget was set and fully funded before the first gavel came down on January 31, state balance sheets included the largest surplus in history, and constitutionally there was nothing that HAD to be accomplished. Redistricting inspired retirement announcements from almost a third of the sitting members and started the clock on a huge election year, in which all of the statewide offices, all 201 legislative seats, and the entire congressional delegation will be on the ballot in November.
Our legislative wrap-up will dive into all the details of this year’s regular session, from bills that were signed to the committee work that was still gridlocked when the clock struck midnight. We'll provide insights on the political dynamics in St. Paul, unpack critical policy and spending bills, and report on the status of Medical Alley Association’s policy priorities post-adjournment. See the 2022 Legislative Year in Review here.
