Join Us for MSSNY’s Lobby Day on March 14th!
The future of health care in New York is being decided, and it’s more important than ever that leaders in Albany listen to physicians’ concerns. To make their voices heard, physicians should plan to attend MSSNY’s annual Physician Advocacy Day on Tuesday, March 14th. Register now!
For the first time since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, MSSNY’s Lobby Day will be held in person. It will take place at the Empire State Plaza (The Egg) in Albany from 7:45-11:00 am. Physicians and their allies will hear from legislative leaders in the morning, and in the afternoon, they will meet with their respective legislators in meetings organized by county medical societies.
This year, we will advocate for policies that address public health threats, remove barriers to patients accessing needed care, and reduce prior authorization and claim payment hassles. At the same time, we will voice our opposition to policies that will increase medical liability insurance costs and inappropriately expand the scope of practice for non-physicians.
Please plan to join hundreds of colleagues from around the state in Albany on March 14th!
