Legislative Initiatives

The Lancaster City and County Medical Society encourages physicians to make a positive contribution to the medical profession by showing interest and becoming involved in the political process. As increased government regulation and low reimbursement rates threaten the existance of organized medicine as we know it, it is important for physicians to unite and support pro-medicine legislators as well as candidates running for the Pennsylvania state legislature or statewide office. The Medical Society strives to educate physicians and spouses about the political process to help them become effective players in the political arena. A Legislative Breakfast is held annually to provide physicians with an opportunity to meet one-on-one with members of the Lancaster County State Legislative Delegation. The Pennsylvania Medical Society provides annual legislative report and predictions.
