Family Physician Day at the Capitol Tuesday, March 17, 2009 Senate Conference Rooms B & C, Cherberg Building Olympia, WA
The Washington Academy of Family Physicians (WAFP) needs your presence and educated voice at the upcoming legislative session, and specifically on March 17, 2009 Family Physician Day at the Capitol in Olympia, WA; 8:30 AM – 4 PM.
Family physicians are encouraged to spend the day at the Capitol, coming together to listen to legislators discuss key issues of interest to primary care physicians, including health care reform, the status of patient centered medical homes in Washington, and the state budget. You will hear up-to-the-minute reports on pending state legislation from WAFP’s lobbyist and legislative leaders. The event is free of charge, and the WAFP encourages all members, including residents and students, to participate.
WAFP staff members and your lobbyist will help you contact your State Representatives for appointments in the afternoon to discuss policy issues vital to Family Medicine and your patients. A training session will be offered in the morning to prepare physicians who are unfamiliar or have limited experience with the political process.
Your voice on the importance of primary care and a patient centered medical home is essential to help foster health care reform in Washington.
WAFP requests that you pre-register so that materials can be prepared you.
