We’re calling on physicians like you to take action in a critical moment for our patients.

Congress is considering deep cuts to Medicaid – threatening care for veterans, seniors, rural hospitals, and working families. These changes would impact emergency care, preventative services, community clinics and the long-term stability of hospitals that serve the most vulnerable.

That’s why we’ve joined the Protect Our Healthcare Coalition in launching a nationwide peer-to-peer texting campaign – and we need your help.

Join the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) for a virtual session today, Wednesday, May 7, 2025, from 12-1 p.m. (MT) to provide an essential overview of measles for health care providers. 

A recording of the webinar will be made available after the session to all registrants. Register here.

The Colorado Medical Society is the largest physician organization advocating for you at the state Capitol. The 2025 legislative session adjourns today, Wednesday, May 7, and legislators are expected to work late into the night. Since convening in January, CMS has advocated for Colorado physicians on bills that impact medicine. 

Thank you for staying engaged by responding to a legislative action alert or reading our advocacy newsletters, Insiders' Edge and PolicyPulse. Watch for your post-session PolicyPulse next week and a full sine die report in the next issue of Colorado Medicine magazine.

If a structured mentor or coaching program were available to help connect you with physician peers or physicians-in-training for professional growth, would you be interested in participating? Respond here.

An on-demand recording of“What Can We Learn from Nazi Medical Crimes” with Dr. Volker Roelcke is now available for viewing.

As a valued member of the Colorado Medical Society, you have exclusive access to an important benefit—the Transamerica Universal Life Insurance with Long Term Care protection. 

What makes this opportunity unique?

As a medical professional, you understand better than most that increased longevity comes with a greater likelihood of needing extended care. This protection isn't just prudent—it's a crucial part of comprehensive financial planning. This product offer has a long-term care rider that is available through Issue Age 65.

This year’s meeting offers more than outstanding educational sessions, thought-provoking discussions, and valuable networking with fellow physicians. It’s a chance to step away from the daily grind, recharge in the stunning Colorado mountains, and spend meaningful time with colleagues — friends, family, and your loved ones — before the busy fall season kicks into gear.
