15 providers from SC attended the AAHomecare Legislative Conference March 4-6,
2008 in Washington, DC. We had meetings with the offices of both Senators and
our 6 Representatives.
I would like to thank the following people who traveled with me to Washington
and worked extremely hard while there and represented SCMESA very well.
Amy Conger, BluBird Medical
Kimberly Cuce, Reliable Medical Equipment of SC
Leonard Green, ABC Medical
Chip Hardy, Crossway Medical
Danny Jernigan, Pride Mobility
Wim Kellett, Reliable Medical Equipment
Brent Mattox, Reimbursement Services Inc.

Nancy Voiselle, Parrish Home Medical
Charles Wadick, Air-Care Home Health
Larry Webb, Medbridge Healthcare
Of the 15 attendees, SCMESA provided 50% financial support for 12 of the members
and 3 of us paid our own way. Some of our attendees have written their thoughts
on the Legislative Conference – what we accomplished, the support we received,
and the follow-up that will be required of each and every one of us as we continue
to fight this battle. You can view their comments
here.
It was an honor for me to work alongside each of these members in Washington.
I look forward to continuing the fight for our patients, our employees and our
industry with each SCMESA member!!
Jackie Bolt
President, SCMESA
