Congressman King Invites Jason Harrington, Pres/CEO of Lakes Regional Healthcare, to attend SOTU.

Congressman Steve King announces that he will be joined by a special guest, Jason Harrington, President/CEO of Lakes Regional Healthcare, at President Donald Trump’s State of the Union Address (SOTU) this evening. Lakes Regional Healthcare is based in Spirit Lake, Iowa and has been providing ambulance services to King’s constituent, Jaci Hermstad so that she can receive experimental gene-therapy treatment at the Mayo Clinic located in Rochester, Minnesota. Hermstad is battling an aggressive form of ALS, and King introduced legislation earlier this year (HR 2855, Jaci’s Bill) that prodded the USDA to grant her a waiver so that her experimental gene-therapy treatments could begin without life-threatening bureaucratic delays.
