Every
year the General Assembly considers legislation that will affect your
practice. Mandates that take more time away from your patients, scope of
practice issues, and public health initiatives. A strong PAC allows
family physicians to build relationships with legislators and gives us a
seat at the table when these important issues are hammered out.
With
increased giving by Political Action Committees for non-physician
providers, trial lawyers, tobacco, and insurance companies every year,
it is essential for Family Medicine to keep our voice strong. When
Indiana state legislators think health, we want Family Medicine to be
on the front of their minds. One of the easiest ways to do this is with
campaign contributions through the Indiana Academy of Family Physicians
PAC.
All
the IAFP PAC donations and decisions are made by the IAFP PAC Board.
The PAC Board consists of the IAFP Board and is chaired by our
Commission on Legislation and Government Affairs chair.
Help make the IAFP’s legislative work stronger with a donation. Checks should be made out to IAFP-PAC and sent to the IAFP downtown office, 55 Monument Circle Ste 400, Indianapolis, IN 46204.
