The Louisiana Academy of Family Physicians is asking its members to sign up to be "Family Physician of the Day" at the capitol during the 2026 Legislative Session. This program will enable the LAFP to build an effective relationship with our senators and representatives; a relationship that should be maintained if our views and suggestions concerning health care are to be heard.

The 2026 Legislative session will convene Monday, March 9, 2026, and will adjourn on Monday, June 1, 2026. We need volunteers for 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Thursday on select dates. You will be asked to perform non-invasive type procedures and you will be covered under the state malpractice insurance when providing your services. A parking spot will also be available at the capitol for your convenience.

As Family Physician of the Day, you will be recognized on the floor of the Legislature and will have the chance to establish relationships with our State Senators and Representatives. For questions or more information, please contact the LAFP at 225.923.3313 or click here to register now.
