Kentucky’s own Kimberly Moser was elected as AMA Alliance President, and GLMS Past President Dr. Robert Couch was on hand to speak at her installation breakfast. Dr. Couch congratulated Moser on the tremendous work she’s done so far and reminded everyone in attendance about the importance of collaboration and partnership. Dr. Couch also served as a member of the AMA Reference Committee B (on Legislation) which considered over 40 resolutions on numerous topics including Patient-Physician text messaging, Medicare Part B double dipping, skyrocketing drug prices, reducing physician administrative burdens, alleviating chronic homelessness in the U.S. and protections for patients with genetic conditions. Every year, GLMS & KMA are represented by their leadership and elected delegates at the AMA annual meeting, and we’re always looking for new physicians interested in activism. If you’d like to take that first step, please register at the following web address to attend the KMA Annual Meeting in downtown Louisville, Aug 25-27. https://kyma.org/2017-kma- annual-meeting/ Aaron Burch Communications Specialist [email protected] McKenna Byerley Public Relations & Membership Specialist [email protected] ADVERTISING: Cheri K.
