GAC users are a force for change. Essential to strong advocacy is communicating with our elected leaders on matters of importance to our patients, medical practices and the profession as a whole. When the physician community weighs-in on healthcare policy proposals, legislators listen. Our personal perspective, medical expertise and first hand experience with how policy implementation impacts the patient experience and real-time clinical practice environment are vital considerations when proposals are developed. We make it easy to take action on the latest critical pieces of legislation at the very moment physician input is needed. Contacting legislators through our Grassroots Action Center or raising public awareness through sharing to social media is a powerful means to voice your concerns, educate others and weigh-in on matters that affect access to quality medical care.
