Policy & Advocacy
We want to hear from YOU!
Having the collective voice of New Hampshire physicians is vital, and hearing from YOU helps us to decide where to place the Medical Society priorities. If there are health and medical related legislative issues that you are passionate about, we encourage you to contact us and voice your opinion.
At NHMS, we provide a unified voice for physicians in the state of New Hampshire.
We are committed to advocating for important medical issues affecting physicians and their patients on both the federal and state level. The NHMS Legislative Committee and Public Health Committee continuously monitor bills and issues that may affect physicians’ practice environments and patient access to care. We attend and testify at hearings and organize physician rallies on topics of particular significance–-advocating for New Hampshire physicians and the betterment of public health.
