This committee recommends and advocates for policy on local legislation affecting the practice of family medicine, access to family physicians, and key issues affecting our patient population. This committee also works through the executive director to coordinate efforts with MassAFP's contract lobbyist and identifies legislation where the MassAFP could provide support and awareness through education (in collaboration with the education committee), advocacy, and leadership (through board involvement and other measures). We meet on a monthly basis and any MassAFP member interested in joining should contact massafp@mms.org.
