“After further discussion and dialogue between the American Academy of Family Physicians and No Free Lunch, and following thoughtful comments to the AAFP from many of its members, the application for No Free Lunch to exhibit at the AAFP’s upcoming annual meeting has been approved.
This decision became even more evident through discussions which will assure that No Free Lunch will fully abide by the exhibitor rules and regulations of the AAFP annual convention and Exposition. This is a positive solution for the Academy and its membership.”

Founded in 1947, the AAFP represents 110,600 physicians and medical students nationwide. It is the only medical society devoted solely to primary care.
Approximately one in four of all office visits are made to family physicians. That is 240 million office visits each year — nearly 87 million more than the next largest medical specialty. Today, family physicians provide more care for America’s underserved and rural populations than any other medical specialty. Family medicine’s cornerstone is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care.
