Physicians Champions Bills to Increase Access to Care at Legislative Leadership Day May 3, 2016 CMA, Leadership development, Public Health Lobby Day 0 More than 300 physicians, including SFMS members, participated in CMA’s Legislative Leadership Day on April 13 at the State Capitol. The SFMS group, represented by leadership as well as at-large members, met with Senator Mark Leno, Assemblymember David Chiu, and Assemblymember Phil Ting. The SFMS delegation focused on advocating for a package of public health bills that puts the focus on issues like vaccination, tobacco tax, increasing provider rates for Medi-Cal, and establishing a Graduate Medical Education Trust Fund in light of inadequate funding levels from the federal government. SFMS would like to thank the participants for championing the cause of San Francisco physicians and their patients. We hope to bring an even larger group to Sacramento for Lobby Day 2017.
