CEO's Message

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:

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.
