RESULTS

In her four terms, Chairwoman Elise has delivered real results for her community. Her Bipartisan effort have led to jobs, better health care, veterans benefits, and protections for our rights.

Telehealth Funding for Chronically Ill

Elise secured over $50,000 in telehealth funding for the Northern NY Rural Behavioral Health Institute in Saranac Lake. This funding will go to help at-risk North Country patients with chronic health conditions access remote care. 

Virtual Solutions for Seniors

Elise worked across the aisle to address the challenge of isolation facing older Americans living in nursing facilities during COVID-19. This legislation would help provide telehealth capabilities & virtual social visits to our loved ones in nursing facilities.

Ensuring Our Most Vulnerable Have Telehealth Access

Telehealth Access

I successfully fought to extend Medicare and Medicaid’s emergency telehealth waiver program for at least 22 months. During COVID-19, many patients have used telehealth services to treat their non-COVID-19 related health issues. We need to extend this waiver program so that our most vulnerable can continue to use this resource while staying safe from the coronavirus.

Providing Resources to Treat Addiction and Curb Abuse

Biodefense Response and Prevention

I was proud to lead the effort to clarify our national biodefense strategy and implementation plan. The COVID-19 crisis has illuminated the need for a more comprehensive biodefense strategy so that our nation is better prepared to combat future public health threats.

Providing Resources to Treat Addiction and Curb Abuse

Curbing Opioid Abuse

I helped pass important legislation that will provide resources to treat opioid addiction and curb abuse in our communities, including limiting opioid supply for temporary-use patients and boosting controlled substance monitoring. The opioid crisis has unfortunately had devastating impacts on the North Country, and I am proud to be leading the effort to combat the opioid epidemic.
