Advocacy
The OAFP advocates for policies that improve the lives of family physicians and the individuals and families we serve.
The OAFP has voted to forgo funding from pharmaceutical companies — including advertising in our magazine and exhibiting at our conferences — to provide assurance that our work is free from any influence from the pharmaceutical industry in its policies, programs and operations.
Oregon Advocacy Update
The OAFP provides advocacy updates on issues important to family physicians weekly when the Oregon Congress is in session.
The most recent update, OAFP Update 5-19-13includes:

Our legislative efforts are coordinated by the Family Physicians of Oregon PAC. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to the PAC.
