April 2025

 

What's happening to your patients is not OK. What's happening to science and research is not OK. What's happening at our federal health agencies is not OK. What's happening to federal health workers is not OK. And DFA is not OK with any of this, and with your help, we are going to let our elected officials know.  

 

Doctors for America is the organization where like-minded individuals can come together to advocate and work to improve health care on behalf of patients. Whether you have 5 minutes or 5 hours to be involved, you CAN help make a difference now through your time, engagement and your donation. 

 

In solidarity,

Executive Director

In this presentation, Dr. Paul Offit and Dr. Judith O’Donnell will provide physician advocates with a comprehensive understanding of the current vaccine landscape. They will discuss the scientific foundation of vaccines, strategies for combating misinformation, and the role physicians can play in preserving public trust in vaccination programs. As political polarization intensifies, it is essential for healthcare professionals to actively engage in advocacy, educate patients, and ensure that sound science remains at the forefront of vaccine decision-making.

Join Jennifer Obel, MD (prior freelance journalist for the Washington Post and Spokesperson for ASCO) for a hands-on training for DFA advocates who want to learn how to use patient stories and personal experiences to create and pitch compelling op-eds and letters to the editor. Editors from DFA's Op-Ed Review Committee will offer you a chance to test and discuss your material and outline and hone the article for greatest publication success and to see if you can influence their point of view. All experience levels are welcome.

Last week, our FDA Task Force met with key policymakers, urging Congress to safeguard the FDA’s independence and scientific integrity. The public deserves an FDA that puts health and evidence above politics and profits.
