It’s National Osteopathic Medicine Week! | JOIN THE CELEBRATION
The AOA reiterates its call for bipartisan Congressional cooperation in efforts to stabilize and improve the U.S. health care system.
CHICAGO—Sept. 26, 2017— AOA President Mark A. Baker, DO, issued the following statement today:
“Stabilizing the health insurance market should be Congress’s priority when it looks to address the many challenges our health care system faces. Osteopathic physicians will continue to support and advocate for our patients’ ability to access the care they need and promote a continuous, comprehensive care model that will improve patient outcomes and lower health care costs.
The American Osteopathic Association stands ready to contribute in the process. As a physician-led organization representing the interest of 130,000 osteopathic physicians and medical students, AOA must uphold the policies adopted by our physician leaders that promote patient access to high-quality care.
We will hold firmly to this guidance and call upon Congress to work across the aisles to stabilize and improve our health care system.”
