Representing FM at FMA HoD

Ten FAFP members participated in the Florida Medical Association's (FMA) 2024 House of Delegates meeting August 3-4 in Orlando, representing the interests of Florida's Family Physicians. The most notable achievement was gaining the FMA's support of future legislation that would invalidate non-compete contracts for physicians, a legislative priority for the FAFP over the course of the last few legislative sessions. A special thanks to the FAFP Delegation as listed below: Drs. Diana Twiggs (Chair), Liudmila Buell, Lupita Gallardo, Dennis Mayeaux, Lolita Ontiveros, Brooke Orr, George Smith, Trishanna Sookdeo, Natasha Verma, and Hailon Wong.
