Advocacy

The decisions and actions of our state and national legislators are crucial to the future of family medicine in Florida. The FAFP supports many diverse health care issues and functions as an advocate for our members. By serving as the active voice of family medicine, we strive to gain support from patients, the medical community, legislators, third party payers, and the general public on the health care issues that most significantly impact your patients and practices. The following links provide detailed information on the issues we support.
