Missouri ACP Legislative Priorities
The Missouri Health and Public Policy Committee surveys the membership each year to determine what issues should be a priority for Missouri ACP. These topics are then the focus of the HPPC during the legislative session and the Missouri ACP Advocacy Day.
There are many ways Missouri ACP members can help with the legislative priorities:
1. Build a relationship with your local elected officials and talk with them about these issues.
2. Become a subject matter expert for your elected officials and be the resource they go to when they have questions related to internal medicine.
3. Participate in Advocacy Day.
