“My decision to join the AAFP nationally and the TNAFP at the state level was the smartest thing I have ever done. Years later, I have a network of friends and colleagues who genuinely care and understand the challenges we face as family doctors. And we can work together to effect change. I’m not just a lone voice crying in the wilderness. Politicians and hospital systems listen, when that many doctors say something.”
