We make house (and senate) calls.

Thanks to all of the physicians, residents and medical students who joined us for the 2013 Day at the Capitol event. It was a great success. We’d also like to thank our sponsors, which you can see at the bottom of this page.

Grassroots Action

The MMA offers several ways for physicians to advocate for the issues they care about in their communities and at the Capitol.

• Capitol Rounds
  The MMA can arrange your very own personal day at the capitol anytime with a one-hour casual meeting with your state representative or senator.

 

• District Dialogues
  The MMA can also bring your state senators and representatives to you and your clinic staff through a District Dialogue, a one-hour casual meeting that can be held in a home, at a coffee shop, at your clinic or at any other venue that’s convenient for you.

For either Capitol Rounds or District Dialogues, contact Brian Strub, MMA Manager of Physician Outreach, at bstrub@mnmed.org or 612-362-3745.
