What is a Congress Voting Member?
NHFC has invited organizations promoting health freedom in the U.S. to be Congress Voting Members. During the limited hours that these members convene the Congress, they will share their strengths and campaigns with each other and strategize ways to work together, strengthening the health freedom movement through unity and solidarity. Congress Voting Members will have the opportunity to discuss important issues and develop collaborative strategies to strengthen the vision of health freedom.
