Protect Family Medicine Programs

Time is running out! Speak out for family medicine.

By the end of this year, Congress will attempt to resolve our country’s “fiscal cliff.”
Family medicine programs are in jeopardy and vulnerable patient populations are at risk.

Take action now by sending provided letters to Congress insisting they protect primary care.

How we advocate for - and with - you.

The AAFP exists to support the needs of its members and to ensure that their voices are heard. Every day, we're fighting for the interests of Family Physicians in Washington, D.C., in state capitals, and in board rooms across the country.
