The Return of "Putting Self-Care in Healthcare"

Last year, The ACMS launched our "Put the Self-care in Healthcare" campaign to highlight Physician Suicide Awareness Day (September 17). The campaign gained attention on radio shows and podcasts. This year, we're enhancing the campaign by sharing ACMS members' insights and patients' encouragements. We are striving for more press coverage to highlight physician suicide awareness and mental health support. The campaign, centered around finding ways to help physicians cope with burnout, includes weekly discounts from partners in various fields, unveiling prize packages weekly.

Legislative Update & Leadership Networking Event

On August 17, the ACMS hosted a Legislative Update and Leadership Social at the Kimpton Hotel Monaco. Attendees heard a legislative update from the team at the Pennsylvania Medical Society followed by remarks and Q&A from ACMS Member and PA State Representative Arvind Venkat. Also in attendance was Rep. Nick Pisciottano.

A perk of serving in a leadership role at the ACMS is attending exclusive events like this one. We still have a handful of open Delegate and Alternate Delegate spots available for 2024. If you are interested in serving in a leadership role, please contact Sara Hussey by August 30 at shussey@acms.org.

National Immunization Awareness Month

August is National Immunization Awareness Month, highlighting the importance of getting vaccinated at all stages of life. In light of the growing prevalence of anti-vaccine sentiments, it is crucial for healthcare professionals to provide empathetic and easily understandable education about vaccinations.

The Allegheny County Immunization Coalition (ACIC) provides reliable and up-to-date information about immunizations and vaccines in Western Pennsylvania. You can join the ACIC for free by visiting their website and learning more about their resources.
