MCMS Docs Visit Austin Capitol
On Tuesday April 1, 2025, several of your colleagues and MCMS board members headed to Austin to meet with our state’s policymakers. The group met with Rep. Pat Curry, Senator Brian Birdwell, and staffers for Rep. Angelia Orr and Rep. Shelby Slawson. Key issues discussed included scope of practice, health IT usage, vaccines, and measles outbreaks. Special thanks to Drs. Adam Ylitalo, Brad Holland, Rafael Perez, and Charles Stern for representing McLennan County.
