A Message from the SFMMS President in Response to Federal Actions February 4, 2025 Advocacy 0 Like many of you, the physician leadership and staff of the San Francisco Marin Medical Society (SFMMS) have been monitoring recent federal actions taken by the Trump administration that have potential far-reaching and detrimental effects on quality of and access to care for underserved and underrepresented populations, reproductive rights and freedoms, and gender-affirming care. SFMMS, alongside our partners at the California Medical Association, county medical societies, community benefit organizations, and nonprofits working on health and healthcare issues, remains unwavering in its commitment to support physicians and their patients. As each federal action is announced, we will work in tandem with these partners to understand how it will affect your medical practice. Resources and updates will be shared weekly via all-member communications and in SFMMS’ quarterly journal, San Francisco Marin Medicine, and on our website. You can find an initial collection of resources related to immigration issues here. Our physician leaders and volunteers, each passionate advocates for health equity and protecting the profession of medicine, are united in our mission to represent, support, and advocate for you. There are challenges ahead. We encourage you to contact us at info@sfmms.org to share how you are being affected by current and future federal actions so that this information may inform the deliberations of our Committees and Boards of Directors. We will navigate these challenges as we always have – together. Sincerely, Jason Nau, MD President, San Francisco Marin Medical Society Comments are closed.
