Central to the mission of the Maine Medical Association is advocating for the interests of Maine physicians and their patients. Indeed, no professional organization or other entity in Maine devotes more resources to advocacy on physicians' behalf before the Maine legislature and executive branch agencies than the Maine Medical Association.  One major area of focus for our advocacy and Committee efforts is working to improve public health for all Mainers, keeping our patients healthier and saving health care dollars.  In addition to lobbying lawmakers, the Maine Medical Association houses a political action committee that aims to support and elect pro-medicine candidates in Augusta and across Maine. Physicians need to remain in the control of the practice of medicine in Maine.  Learn more about how you can help us put medicine-friendly candidates in the state legislature and work with them once they get there.
