Benefits

MEDICAL & LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY

    • GLMS is your local, organized voice of medicine to local, state and national government, working to educate lawmakers and encourage them to pass bills that are good for physicians and their patients. The GLMS Policy & Advocacy Team works in
      collaboration with the Kentucky Medical Association (KMA) and the
      American Medical Association (AMA) when appropriate.

    • Town halls, receptions, and other GLMS programs like our award-winning Wear the White Coat experience give members the opportunity to connect with legislative leaders.

    • Committee participation provides a forum for creating improvements and solutions to important health care issues.
