Advocacy Priorities
MAFP's advocacy agenda supports public policies that underlie the Academy’s mission and vision—to ensure all Michigan residents have access to quality, affordable healthcare within a family physician-led medical home. Our efforts seek to enhance recognition for family physicians and result in a positive, productive legislative and regulatory climate for the primary care community.
