Advocacy Action Alerts

Your voice is powerful, and collectively with your family physician colleagues it can be even stronger. Take action by sharing your stories, voicing your opinion and educating legislators with the facts they need to know in order to make informed decisions.

During legislative sessions, be sure to watch your inbox for regular Advocacy Action Alerts designed to inform you of the latest updates affecting your practice and your patients. If you are not receiving these updates, please contact MAFP staff at 517.347.0098 or info@mafp.com.
