As we continue to navigate the ever-evolving landscape of health care, I want to take a moment to recognize the challenges we face and reaffirm our commitment to advocating for you — the emergency physicians on the front lines — and for the patients who depend on us.
The COVID-19 pandemic may have officially receded from headlines, but its effects remain deeply felt in our emergency departments. Issues such as patient boarding, provider burnout, workplace violence, nursing shortages, reimbursement instability, and scope of practice concerns have only intensified over the past four years. These are not new problems, but they have become more urgent and visible than ever before.
Thank you to all members who have contributed to the College’s Political Action Committee (EP-PAC) in the past year and to those who continue to contribute in 2024. Your donations allow the College to work on your behalf to give a voice to Emergency Medicine issues in our State Legislature.
You may contribute to the EP-PAC online, by mail to EP-PAC, PO Box 1038, Wake Forest, NC 27588, or on your ACEP dues renewal form. Donate online here - https://www.nccep.org/pac/
