Happy 2025,
We have many events to look forward to this year, and I encourage everyone to check out the following events for the month:
Legislative Kickoff Reception to Launch the 2025 Maryland General Assembly
The Legislative Kickoff Reception is set to take place on Monday, January 13, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, at Acqua Al 2 Ristorante in historic downtown Annapolis. This annual event marks the start of the Maryland General Assembly session and provides a unique opportunity for physicians, members, medical society leaders, and policymakers to engage in meaningful dialogue about health policy and other key issues. We hope you can join us for this casual, yet impactful gathering to help shape Maryland's legislative priorities for the year ahead. Click here for additional information.

Throughout the following months, MedChi physicians, members, and community leaders have the opportunity to partake in Lobby Days to advocate for Maryland's medical system and policies. Dates and additional information can be found here.
MedChi Physician of the Day in Maryland State House First Aid Room
MedChi schedules physicians to volunteer as the MedChi Physician of the Day in the Maryland State House's First Aid Room in Annapolis during the 2025 Maryland General Assembly Legislative Session. The First Aid Room is located inside the Maryland State House.
Emeritus physicians who have an active license, are also encouraged to participate. Time slots to volunteer include Monday evenings from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM throughout the 2025 Maryland General Assembly Legislative Session.

The upcoming events for the coming months truly impact Maryland's legislative policies and outlook on healthcare. I encourage everyone to be a part of that conversation and inspire change for the upcoming year.
Happy New Year,
