Government Attorneys
The Government Attorneys Interest Group (GAIG) provides networking and engagement opportunities, programs, publications, and online resources for lawyers whose practice or interests lie at the intersection of government and healthcare. Membership is composed of Health Law Section members who have an interest in or experience working with or for governmental healthcare entities on the federal, state, tribal, local, or territorial jurisdictional level. The IG serves as a resource for these attorneys by providing a mechanism for sharing best practices, recent trends, proposed and new regulations and agency mandates, documents, policies, protocols and forms, implementation of laws and regulations, and content expertise.
