Policy Engagement to Safeguard Independent Practice
On October 15, CAP proudly hosted the inaugural Advocacy in Action Legislative Series—a dynamic, in-person event designed to connect physicians with key state legislators shaping healthcare policy in California.
Held at CAP’s downtown Los Angeles headquarters, the event also celebrated CAP’s 50th anniversary. Assemblymember Mark González (D-Los Angeles) presented a special proclamation recognizing CAP’s decades of service to California’s medical community.
More than 50 CAP physician members attended the program, which featured insightful discussions with Assemblymember Mark González, Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D-Chatsworth), and Senator Suzette Martinez Valladares (R-Valencia). The legislators addressed pressing issues impacting physicians and patients alike, including reimbursement, prior authorization, administrative burdens, and the future of independent practice, and answered questions from those in the audience.
CAP is deeply grateful to our members for participating in this important dialogue. Your presence and perspectives help strengthen our collective voice to ensure policymakers are informed and educated on the realities of practicing medicine today.
Through continued advocacy and future initiatives, CAP remains committed to supporting independent physicians and advancing meaningful policy change across the state.
Continue to watch this space for future events where your participation plays a vital role.
