State advocacy for family physicians
Strengthening local health care policy
Get involved with your state chapter to learn what's happening in state legislatures across the country on important, emerging issues that concern family medicine.
Resources for advocacy: Tools and support for physicians
State policy happens quickly. To make sense of it all, the AAFP Government Relations team develops member-exclusive resources on trending health policy proposals that have the potential to affect family medicine. From health care coverage to payment, these resources provide key information needed to gain state policy ground.
- State fact sheet library
Be prepared to fight for the primary care issues your state is facing by downloading and bringing a fact sheet with you to share with your lawmaker.
Email jharrison@aafp.org to obtain your stateโs fact sheet
- State legislative report
Stay up to date on important issues affecting family medicine in your state and monitor legislation in neighboring states that have the potential to impact the specialty.
- National advocacy
Learn what the AAFP is doing to advance primary care and empower physicians with our national and legislative regulatory priorities, including recent advocacy wins.
"Chapters are integral to family physiciansโ day-to-day practice at the state level. If youโre reading about whatโs happening in the news, participating in a Speak Out program for federal advocacy, or you've joined the AAFP Advocacy Ambassador program, these actions are just as important with your state chapter."
