DDNC Public Policy Forum - Washington, DC
The Digestive Disease National Coalition (DDNC) is our advocacy organization in the nation's capitol. In concert with its member-organzations, the DDNC seeks to raise awareness of digestive diseases in Congress and the media. An annual Public Policy Forum is one method employed in that effort. Below are pictures taken at the 2004 forum in Washington, DC. For more information on the DDNC, please visit www.ddnc.org. |
