The Ohio Academy of Family Physicians has made it easy for you to send a congratulatory e-mail your state representative and state senator on their election as members of the 133rd Ohio General Assembly and to let them know that you look forward to working with them during their term in office.
As a family physician practicing in your district, and an active member of the Ohio Academy of Family Physicians (OAFP), I want to congratulate you on your election victory. The OAFP is a statewide professional organization of more than 5,000 family physician, family medicine resident, and medical student members. OAFP members are also members of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). The AAFP is the nation’s largest primary care organization, representing over 130,000 family physicians like me across the country.
More Ohioans depend on family physicians than on any other medical specialty. We are the main source of primary health care for the Medicare population and provide care to a large portion of Medicaid beneficiaries. I am committed to the advancement of policies that promote healthier individuals, healthier communities, and a health care system that is accessible and equitable to all, regardless of their race, gender or geographic location.
As an advocate for my patients, I look forward to working with you during the 133rd Ohio General Assembly to develop and support policies that ensure individuals and families have access to affordable high-quality primary care.
