Can you make a perfect circle out of tin foil with surgical tools? Didn't think so.

Check out this practice session for surgery from an ophthalmologist and then call your Missouri lawmakers and tell them you care about who is operating inside your eyes!

Some interests in our state are trying to loosen the regulations about who can operate on eyes in Missouri.

Missourians deserve physician-led care for procedures inside the eye. Call the Missouri House of Representatives today and ask your own Representative to leave eyes to the physicians!

People ask why physicians get involved in public policy. The answer is simple: patients.

When laws affect how medicine is practiced, physicians want to ensure that policies support:

• Safe patient care
• Access to physicians across Missouri
• Reduced bureaucracy that delays treatment

That’s why the Missouri State Medical Association works with lawmakers to strengthen Missouri’s health care system.

Physicians are here to help their patients navigate and achieve their health goals, lending their years of experience and schooling to guide patients to the tailored health care experience they need to be healthy this year and beyond.

Health care works best when physicians and patients make decisions together.

Missouri physicians believe in listening to their patients, explaining options clearly, and helping people choose the care that fits their needs.

That partnership is central to quality care.

Titles are important, especially when you are dealing with medical professionals.

Transparency, especially in a medical setting is a must. Make sure you know the credentials of the medical professionals you trust with your care.

Physicians are patients’ champions of healthcare in .

By building strong relationships, physicians have the insight and expertise to help patients understand the treatment options that address their healthcare needs.

Together, physicians and patients can navigate growing bureaucracy within healthcare in pursuit of better health outcomes.

We look forward to working with legislative leaders in Missouri, like state Rep. Melanie Stinnett, to get prior authorizations passed into law this session.
