The Physician Coalition of Louisiana invited our members to the Louisiana State Capitol for a Day of Advocacy on Wednesday, May 21, 2025. Attendees kicked the morning off with breakfast and registration at the Pentagon Barracks before heading to the Capitol to meet with legislators.
THANK YOU to the great group of over 100 physicians, residents and medical students who joined us at the Capitol for White Coat Wednesday! Those attending had the opportunity to attend committee meetings and visit with their legislators. We were pleased to expand the event by offering some additional opportunities and joining forces with some of our specialty society groups.
