WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman G. K. Butterfield (NC-01) will emphasize technology innovation, healthcare access, and education during several events in the District this week.
On Tuesday, Butterfield will deliver remarks at the Nanotech Commercialization Conference on North Carolina’s thriving Nanotechnology cluster, which is now the third largest in the U.S.
On Wednesday, the Congressman will visit DaVita Dialysis Center, a leading provider of kidney care services for patients suffering from kidney failure, to highlight the continuation of innovative programs despite federal budget cuts to health programs that allow home dialysis treatment and prescription delivery. Following his visit to DaVita, Butterfield will present a $350,000 check from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to Henderson Collegiate, a public charter school, to replicate the remarkably successful Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP) educational model.
The Congressman will complete the week on Thursday by attending a Seniors Going Strong meeting and Health Equality Can’t Wait rally. At each event, Butterfield will hear from constituents on healthcare issues affecting seniors and minorities, respectively.
