Legislation and Advocacy

Let Your Voice Be Heard - Sign up for the Key Contacts Program TODAY!

The LAFP needs you! In this day and age state and federal law makers are making decisions that directly effect your patients and your practice. As the legislative session draws near, legislators need to hear from family physicians about issues that impact their practice and their patients. LAFP's key contact program serves to create and maintain an open dialogue with both state and federal legislators across Louisiana. If you are a family physician and interested in effecting change, please consider participating. The program has a low time commitment and does not require you to advocate for issues that you don't believe in professionally. Become a Key Contact today!

LAFP Political Action Committee

The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians Political Action Committee, the political voice of family medicine in Louisiana, speaks on behalf of more than 1,500 Louisiana family physicians and their patients. On our new Web site you can brush up on candidates and their stances on medical issues or join LaFamPac in the fight to protect and strengthen family medicine.

Advocacy Resources

LAFP continually identifies the evolving challenges facing family medicine.
