Physicians in the Ohio General Assembly play a vital role not only in caring for patients but also in shaping the future of healthcare policy in Ohio. With new legislative sessions ahead and the 2026 election cycle on the horizon, it’s more important than ever that physicians have a seat at the table.
Upcoming Changes May Change Your Charitable Giving Plans
