A Big Announcement: Congressional Celiac Disease Caucus

A major announcement was made at the Celiac Disease Foundation 2021 Patient Education & Advocacy Summit.

Rep. Steve Stivers (R-OH) announced the formation of the first-ever Congressional Celiac Disease Caucus for the 117th Congress. Representatives Betty McCollum (D-MN) and Stivers have agreed to co-chair this Caucus. Representative Tim Ryan (D-OH) has agreed to become a member of the Caucus. The paperwork for formal recognition of the Caucus by the House was submitted by Rep. Stivers’ office on February 25, 2021.

This is a huge step towards increasing recognition in Congress and, by extension, all of government, of celiac disease.
