The NCAFP advocates for health policies that will improve the practice of Family Medicine in North Carolina. The NCAFP is a trusted partner with our legislature, state agencies, and health systems, advocating for policies to improve your work life and help you better care for your patients. We also advocate for Family Medicine at the federal level through the American Academy of Family Physicians.
There are plenty of ways you can participate, and all of them count!
