Medical Society Advocacy: With one voice, the power of many. 

NHMS Legislative Advocacy Resources

Legislative Committee Meetings

At a typical meeting, we review the legislative landscape, discuss specific bills and the medical implications, develop advocacy plans and priorities, and discuss communications strategies.  These committee meetings are open to all members and advocacy is not required of all who participate. In addition to members who provide testimony, the committee is also composed of physicians with clinical expertise who help inform others of the implications and consequences of legislation - they help shape the messaging and provide case and scientific background. Meetings are typically held on Monday evenings during the legislative session.
