Government Affairs News

BCMS physicians attend meetings with elected officials

 

As part of the recent TMA Fall Conference, held in Lost Pines on Sept. 15-16, physician members of TEXPAC, TMA’s political action committee, honored Congressman Michael Burgess (R-Lewisville) during the TEXPAC reception held on Sept. 15.  Those meeting with Congressman Burgess included David Henkes, MD, TMA Board of Trustees Chair; Leah Jacobson, MD, BCMS president; and Jesse Moss, Jr., MD.

 

Also as reported previously, the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics Committee has begun scheduling meetings with members of our City Council in an effort to discuss health care topics of importance to our city and to offer BCMS as a resource on such matters.  Last week, Dr. Jacobson and Mary Nava, BCMS chief government affairs officer, met with Councilman Clayton Perry (City Council District 10) to discuss military medicine in San Antonio.

 

For local discussion on these and other legislative advocacy topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics Committee by contacting Mary Nava, BCMS chief government affairs officer and lobbyist at mary.nava@bcms.org.

 

 

Standing (l-r):  David Henkes, MD, TMA Board of Trustees Chair; Leah Jacobson, MD, BCMS president; U.S. Rep. Michael Burgess (R-Lewisville) and Jesse Moss, Jr., MD.
