Stakeholders Emailed

1. Professor Jagiello( jagielkp@jmu.edu):

We chose Professor Jagiello because she is currently a women’s health professor and works in the Winchester Medical center maternity ward. She is in the position where she can educate students, staff,and patient s about prenatal care and the different pregnancy outcomes. Being an active maternity nurse she understand the importance of ultrasound technology and usage to backup the purpose of the bill.

2. Lou Markwith Executive Director Virginia Associated Of free Clinics (lou@vafreeclinics.org) :

Mr Markwith is in charge of all the free clinics in the state of Virginia. He can easily reach out to the clinics and make them aware and get them involved.

3. Harrisonburg Free Clinic (rsider@hrfreeclinic.org):

We believe its important to contact the local free clinics to gain their support since the benefits of the bill will be directed towards them. They will be able to give first hand knowledge on how important this technology will be for their patients.

4. Clifford Stearn ( contacted through House. Gov contact your legislator website):

Mr. Stearn is the legislator who created the bill. We would contact him to make him aware of our support and to ask for guidance on how to further support his bill.

5. Bob Goodlatte Harrisonburg’s congressman(Contacted through House.gov contact your legislator website):

We want Congressman Goodlatte support in voting for the bill when it is presented in congress.

6. Jessica Honke Director of public policy for Planned Parenthood (jessica.honke@ppfa.org)

  1. I think that contacting both professor Jagiello and the Harrisonburg Free Clinic were wise choices. Several groups, mine included, only contacted powerful politicians in Washington, D.C. Change typically comes from the bottom up, starting with informed citizens and community leaders.
