       ADVOCACY

Emergency medicine in West Virginia is facing numerous challenges in an era of rapid change. West Virginia ACEP is working diligently to safeguard your interests, in both the personal and professional realm. We implore you to join us in protecting our patients and our specialty.


The West Virginia Chapter of the American College of Emergency Physicians is your voice to achieve these goals!

  

ACEP has launched a campaign to educate policymakers, the news media and the public about the value of emergency medicine and that emergency care constitutes less than 2% of all health care spending.  To hear some talk about rising health care costs, you’d think it was more like 50%!   Because of the cost-cutting environment in Washington and in state legislatures, this campaign is designed to promote the high value of emergency care.  The campaign launched with a Health Writers’ Conference in New York, featuring ACEP members from Arizona, Connecticut, New York, Texas, Oregon and Washington, DC,  highlighting different aspects of emergency care.  In addition, the results of a new poll of ACEP members was released showing increased stress on emergency departments.  ACEP spokespersons in 10 top media markets are conducting media interviews to promote the poll results and reinforce the “Just 2%” messages.  The campaign will continue with print and radio ads through ACEP’s Leadership & Advocacy Conference this month in Washington.  

 Help support the campaign!  THANK YOU!!
