Major Announcement: From Dr. William “Cap” Ingram

Doctors and friends,

I am in Harrisburg right now. House Bill 1800, the bill that would have severely limited the ability for injured workers to receive quality medical care and related benefits, was “run” on the floor and was “tabled”. All of that political language means that the bill did not make it out of committee!!!!!!

This is a gigantic victory! Obviously it is possible that this could come back next year but we will be even more prepared then. Thank you all for your hard work and please continue to fight this fight.

Also, please forward this email to anyone that helped that I inadvertently did not include!

Thank you all again,

Dr. William Ingram
