We’re working toward a future where equitable access and affordability for all is a reality.
We aren’t there yet, but with the power of our collective voices, we can get there.
The PAN Foundation’s annual Advocacy Action Summit offers a powerful opportunity for advocates to rally for equitable healthcare for all.
Each fall, PAN brings advocates to Capitol Hill— both in-person and virtually—to share their lived experience with lawmakers. Together, we champion legislative priorities that directly impact the lives of millions of patients and elevate the voices of those affected by chronic, rare, and life-threatening illnesses.
Advocacy Action Summit 2024
Join us in Washington, D.C., from September 23 – 25, 2024, as we discuss the challenges of accessing affordable care in the U.S. and the legislative solutions that can help. On our last day, we’ll head to the Hill to meet with members of Congress and their staff to urge support for policies that could positively impact millions of patients and their loved ones.
Registration for our in-person summit opens May 30, 2024

The history of PAN’s advocacy action summit
PAN held our first advocacy “Action Day” in 2022, rallying our advocates across all U.S. states and territories to call on Congress to support commonsense, patient-first legislation.
During our inaugural event, we urged Congress to support key Medicare reforms through the Inflation Reduction Act. When those reforms were signed into law, we celebrated an important policy win for patients. You can learn about those reforms and the timeline for implementation in our Medicare reforms guide.
In 2023, PAN grant recipients and their loved ones from across the country came together on Capitol Hill to meet with members of Congress, share their lived experience, and ask for support on policies that would continue to lower out-of-pocket costs and increase healthcare access and affordability for all. Thousands of supporters from across the country also rallied together for a virtual day of action, sending more than 5,000 emails to legislators, echoing the messages of the PAN delegation on the Hill.
