PAFP's current president, Dr. Heather Beauparlant, was featured by the AAFP on Veteran's Day. Beauparlant, whose family has a history of service, was a major when she was discharged from the U.S. Army Medical Corps in 2015. Her grandfather was a warrant officer during World War II. Two of her uncles rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel during the Vietnam War, and her brother served in the Marines. Read about how that experience informs her practice of family medicine. https://loom.ly/La37KZI

Ten years after she left the military, Heather Beauparlant DO, MBA, FAAFP, is still caring for fellow veterans and applying lessons learned from the Army to civilian leadership roles.

While the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services gave us a lot to celebrate this year, it is important to note that most of the payment increases for 2026 are temporary and will expire at the end of next year. Read more from AAFP President Sarah Nosal:

The 2026 Medicare physician fee schedule moves us closer to a health care system that prioritizes primary care, writes AAFP president, Sarah Nosal, MD, FAAFP. But lasting change requires sustained commitment from policymakers and continued advocacy from physicians.
