CARE is at Our CORE

Your Care is at Our Core

Physicians are compassionate healers
and their patients’ biggest allies.

Physicians persevered through years of medical school and residency to build connections with patients and provide the highest quality of care. However, all too often, physicians find themselves stuck between a desire to connect with patients and a need to navigate seemingly endless red tape and bureaucracy.

“People don’t understand how much red tape, administrative time, and bureaucracy dictates patient care,”
says Dr. Elizabeth Muennich, MD, dermatologist and president of the Ohio State Medical Association.
“It’s more important than ever for physicians to advocate for keeping patient care at the core of
healthcare decisions, and for letting physicians do what we do best—caring for patients and
advising on the best course of treatment based on each patient’s unique circumstances.”

Join us in advocating for what matters most—time for physicians to
connect with their patients.

The best days for physicians come when they are close at hand with their patients, facing challenges head on and providing support to patients in their journey to health. Physicians’ worst days come when they spend valuable time fighting with third parties to ensure patients can access the care they need.

Patients feel it when forced to call insurance companies to get basic procedures approved, and doctors feel it when we are forced to prioritize a phone call with a bureaucrat about treatment options.
