May 1, 2017 Donna Drumm attended a lobbying session in Albany, NY at the Capitol Building to meet with members of the Assembly and Senators to advocate for Dream's Law.
She campaigned with Dream, Dream's mother, Diana Lemon and members of Friends of Karen "With the help of NY State Representative, Sandy Galef, and NY State Senator David Carlucci, Bill #S1165 (Dream Bill) is about to go before the New York State Senate. This bill would add an amendment to the Public Health Law to deem that a central venous line is “medically necessary” and, therefore, “to ensure as part of discharge planning for transplant patients with a central venous line, the designated caregiver shall be consulted on his or her capabilities and limitations in administering medications and providing proper central venous line care.” Dream Bill is poised to become Dream Law but still needs more public support.
If you would like to help support Dream Law, here’s what you can do: Call, write and/or email NY State Senator, Kemp Hannon, Chair of the NY Senate Health Committee and ask him to support this bill and share with your friends and ask them to do the same (#DreamLaw2017). Community Office: 595 Stewart Ave., Suite 540, Garden City, NY 11530; 516-739-1700 Albany Office: The Capitol – Room 420, Albany, NY 12247; 518-455-2200 hannon@nysenate.gov"
