The American College of Radiology® (ACR®) Radiology Advocacy Network (RAN) released its fourth-quarter newsletter, which encompasses the continuous work of the ACR government relations division in the last quarter of 2022. The newsletter includes briefs about everything from legislative updates to economic and health policy changes. This newsletter is available to all registered radvocates. If you did not receive this latest edition of the RAN newsletter, register now to receive this valuable benefit going forward.

RAN gained 182 new radvocates who participated in many Calls To Action, who, combined with the more than 20,000 radvocates already active, resulted in more than 30,000 correspondences to Congress in 2022. RAN looks forward to an active 2023 and encourages members to visit the Radvocacy website for frequent updates.

If you have any questions or would like a copy of this latest edition, please contact Melody Ballesteros, ACR Assistant Director of Government Relations.
