The Miami-Dade County Medical Association (MDCMA) is proud to highlight one of our dedicated physician leaders, Dr. Jorge L. Marcos, Vice President of our Board of Directors, for representing both our community and the specialty of neurology on the national stage.
From February 22-24, 2026, Dr. Marcos traveled to Washington, D.C. to participate in "Neurology on the Hill", an annual advocacy event hosted by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).
During Neurology on the Hill, AAN members meet directly with lawmakers to educate them about the critical role neurologists play in patient care and to advocate for meaningful health care reform. Discussions this year focused on protecting patient access to neurologic care, addressing physician workforce challenges, supporting medical research, and advancing policies that reduce administrative burdens on physicians.
Dr. Marcos joined colleagues from across the country in engaging members of Congress and their staff, ensuring that the voice of Florida physicians, and the patients we serve, was heard in key policy conversations. His participation underscores the importance of physician involvement beyond the exam room. Advocacy is essential to protecting our profession and improving the health care system for all.
At MDCMA, we are proud to have leaders like Dr. Marcos who understand that medicine and policy are deeply connected. By stepping forward at events like "Neurology on the Hill", he demonstrates the impact physicians can make when they unite their clinical expertise with civic engagement.
Please join us in thanking Dr. Jorge Marcos for his leadership, service, and commitment to advancing neurology and patient care at the local and national levels.
