Physician Advocacy

Physician advocacy refers to the active role that doctors take in supporting and promoting the health and well-being of their patients and communities. This involves not just treating illnesses, but also speaking out on health-related issues, influencing healthcare policies, and ensuring that patients have access to necessary resources and care. Physicians advocate for their patients by addressing social determinants of health, raising awareness about health disparities, and working towards systemic changes in healthcare to improve overall outcomes and protect patient rights. Ultimately, it is about ensuring that every patient receives the best possible care and support.
