Do you routinely follow the Statehouse news? Know the names of members of Congress or Ohio Statehouse Ace all of the political questions on Jeopardy?

For many of us, the answer is “no”. But input from your unique perspective is valuable to the CMA’s Public Policy Community.

Your profession, your medical practice, and ultimately your patients’ health care is regulated by the Ohio Legislature. By the State Medical Board. By the US Congress. The more physician voices added to the conversation, the more impact we can have.

You’re invited to join us on May 13th for our upcoming Public Policy Community Virtual Meeting at 6:00pm. You can RSVP here.
