GLMS AND KMA LOOK AHEAD TO 2018
LEGISLATION
As the new year begins, so with it comes a new legislative session
in Frankfort. Through the next few months, GLMS and KMA will be
making strides to connect physicians with their legislators to have
honest conversations about health care concerns. Here are a few
of the upcoming events where you can get involved and have your
voice heard.

action to pursue positive health care legislation.

Throughout the day of Wednesday, February 7, GLMS and
KMA physicians will travel to Frankfort to talk directly
with representatives for the annual Physicians’ Day at the
Capitol. The P&A Team will coordinate to make sure as many
legislators as possible are reached on that whirlwind day.
This is an exciting time for politics in health care, and we
implore you to become involved if you are not already. For more
information about one or all of these events, please contact Onvia
