National Doctors' Day is March 30
Celebrating you with two events
|
|
In honor of National Doctors' Day, this year the Colorado Medical Society is holding two events to celebrate you. |
|
A blood drive that starts Wednesday, March 30 and runs through Friday, April 8. We encourage you to donate blood and encourage your staff and patients to join you. (Post this flyer in your waiting room!) This event is held in partnership with Vitalant and their locations around the state. |
|
An e-recycle event where you can recycle your cell phones, laptops and computer towers at no cost to you, and at various locations across the state starting Wednesday, March 30. All destruction is secure and each location abides by federal, state and local laws and regulations. This event is held in partnership with COPIC. Stop by the Colorado Springs event on March 30 to say hello to CMS staff! |

CMS leads the charge in defeating scope bill
We have your back at the Capitol
|
A flawed bill that would have drastically expanded the scope of practice for physician assistants was defeated on the House floor yesterday and the bill's sponsor pointedly "blamed" the Colorado Medical Society for standing up for physicians and their practices.
CMS President Mark Johnson, MD, MPH, lauded the bill's defeat as a win for patient safety and team-based care, and pledged to continue to work with interested parties on solutions to improve patient access and Colorado's health care workforce. Read his full statement here, and watch for more information in next week's Policy Pulse e-newsletter. |

Call the legislators who voted "no" to thank them for their support on this issue!
35 legislators stood with CMS and the House of Medicine and voted "no" on HB22-1095: Physician Assistant Collaboration Requirements. We urge you to call them to thank them for their support! View these legislators here. |

All members are invited to our Match Day celebration!
Medical students find out this week where they matched for residency. For those heading to Colorado, the Colorado Medical Society is throwing a virtual celebration on Tuesday, March 29, 6-7 p.m.
All members and current residents are welcome and encouraged to join us for this event!

Statement from CMS President Mark Johnson, MD, MPH, on Ukraine
"The Colorado Medical Society strongly condemns attacks on Ukrainian hospitals, medical facilities and health professionals by Russian forces. Respect for and protection of medical staff and facilities are mandated under the Geneva Conventions. As members of the international medical community, we stand in solidarity with the health professionals of Ukraine who are struggling to continue providing care due to wartime attacks. These attacks on medical personnel and facilities are not only reprehensible acts of cowardice, they are war crimes for which the perpetrators must be held accountable."
