HOPA's Virtual Hill Day 2026 is fast approaching!

HOPA's Virtual Hill Day will take place on Thursday, May 21!

Virtual Hill Day allows advocates a unique opportunity to engage with their members of Congress, especially for those who are not usually able to travel to Washington D.C. Throughout the day, advocates will speak to their elected officials and their legislative staffers to discuss issues important to hematology/oncology pharmacists and their patients.

There are members of Congress who need to hear from YOU - their constituents - about the great work that hematology/oncology pharmacy practitioners do and how they help those on their cancer treatment journey.

Stay tuned to hear more!

HOPA Hill Day 2025: HOPA Goes to Washington

The annual in-person advocacy event brought advocates to the U.S. Capitol for a unique opportunity to engage with their members of Congress, speaking with their elected officials and their staff about pressing issues for hematology/oncology pharmacists and their patients. Last year's edition discussed several important topics in the Capitol, including:

  • Supporting solutions to cancer drug shortages
  • Supporting and cosponsoring the Clinical Trial Modernization Act, a House Bill introduced in May 2025 aiming to improve participation in clinical trials by underrepresented populations
  • Providing and maintaining federal funding for cancer research, prevention, and surveillance programs

In total, Hill Day 2025 brought together 45 proud HOPA advocates - including pharmacists, caregivers, and residents - for 68 productive meetings with representatives and staffers, making last year's in-person gathering one of the largest Hill Days in HOPA's history. Thank you to all of the incredible volunteers and advocates who made this event possible and who made sure our pharmacists and patients were heard on the hill!
