Legislative Recess Update and Advocacy Opportunities
It was a relatively quiet week in Lansing as the Legislature began its traditional hunting and Thanksgiving recess. Session is scheduled to resume on Tuesday, December 2, with only seven session days remaining before the end of the year. During this period, many lawmakers will devote their time to in-district events—an ideal opportunity to strengthen relationships and advance our message on the value of physician-led care teams. A list of currently scheduled events is included below.
You may also subscribe to newsletters or notifications from your legislators to stay informed about upcoming meetings and engagement opportunities. Go to the Michigan Senate and Michigan House websites, select Senators/Members, and then select your Senator/Representative.
Advocacy Day Registration Now Open
If you are interested in becoming more involved in advocacy efforts, registration is now available for our 2026 Advocacy Day. Set for March 11, 2026, this annual event is a key moment for physicians to come together in support of the future of medicine in our state. The day will begin with a 9:00 a.m. introductory session, followed by small-group meetings with legislators and opportunities to attend committee hearings. Lunch will be provided, and additional details will be shared as the event approaches.
