MSSNY Physician Advocacy Day is On Tuesday!
Please join MSSNY for our annual Physician Advocacy Day March 12, 2024, an educational program where physicians can hear from legislative leaders regarding key healthcare issues in New York State, and have the opportunity to pose questions to these leaders. At the program’s conclusion, physicians will join their colleagues to encourage their senators and assembly members to support legislation crucial to their practice and oppose bills that impose restrictions and add unreasonable burdens. This year’s event will be held in person at the Lewis Swyer Theater in The Egg (Empire State Plaza) in Albany from 7:45-11:00 am. Breakfast and lunch will be served. We look forward to seeing you there!.
