Government Relations For companies operating in highly regulated fields like healthcare, energy and mining, working successfully with the Federal and State Governments is a difficult - but critical - challenge. A company accustomed to quick action on important issues can find itself confounded by the byzantine structure of government bureaucracy. Yet, the consequences of a failure in communication can lead to the long-term loss of legislative and regulatory input: lost opportunities that can translate into lost business for your company and/or gained benefits for competitors. Effective communications and access to key Congressional members, staff, committees and subcommittees is essential to the successful representation of a client's agenda. Strong relations with senior decision-makers in the administration are equally critical. Through our strategic partnership with U.S. Strategies Corporation ("USSC"), we maintain excellent relationships with members of all the major committees and subcommittees in Congress, as well as prominent officials in the Administration. USSC's experience and familiarity with language and culture of government enables us to effectively identify developing legislative, regulatory and public policy issues, and translate private sector priorities into public sector policies. Through USSC, we can provide access to many governmental entities and resources including some of the ones listed below: Executive Branch White House Legislative Branch US Senate US House of Representatives THOMAS Legislative Information Federal Agencies Food & Drug Administration Department of Health & Human Services Health Resources & Service Administration National Institute of Health National Library of Medicine Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services National Association of Community Health Centers Community Health Ventures Department of Education United States Postal Service For more information on USSC, please click on the following link: http://www.usstrategies.com/
