Advocates who want to learn more about #MedicalTourism, please make sure to register for NAHAC's webinar on January 20, 2026. A lot of great information to come!

Kimberlie — we have several advocates in this area. You can find three of them by searching the GNA site by doing a problem/condition search for tourism or for «medical tourism» in quotes. I believe we have at least 2 more, but sadly their profiles don't have these keywords, and i can't recall what they might say. (Which is why we push so hard about keywords now, in onboarding!)
