Legislation and Advocacy

​The mission of PAAA includes advocacy for patients with allergic, asthmatic, and immunologic disorders in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Through the Federation of Regional, State, and Local Allergy, Asthma & Immunologic Societies (RSLAAIS), PAAA communicates issues to and from our national organizations who have representatives that monitor federal issues and speak with legislators in Washington on behalf of allergists.

​

Through collaboration with the Pennsylvania Medical Society and other medical societies and communication between local, state, and regional allergy societies, PAAA has advocated for newborn infants with Primary Immunodeficiency, students with food allergy, and patients who require expensive specialty pharmacy drugs. The Association is dedicated to monitoring and addressing issues that affect our specialty and our patients.
