Chapter Advocacy Week
Countdown to Advocacy Week:
Legislators want to hear from their constituents and when it comes to healthcare, physicians are the experts! NYACP offers the opportunity to become involved in advocacy with other like-minded physicians. During Advocacy Week 2023, the Chapter has daily activities that provide a simple way to get involved and help increase awareness of various NYACP priorities currently being discussed in the New York State Legislature.
