Emergency Medicine is the leader in
promoting patient access and safety, and has been recognized by the
Florida Legislature as the only universally available source of care.
In order to achieve our goal of taking
Emergency Medicine to the next level of policy influence in Tallahassee,
the Florida College of Emergency Physicians has formed a committee of
continuous existence (CCE) to provide support to legislative leaders and
policy makers, and ensure that Emergency Medicine has a seat at the
table with key leaders in the Florida House and Senate. We have named
this group "People for Access to Emergency Care" (PAEC). PAEC
serves as a vehicle for Emergency Physician groups, billing
companies and organizations supporting Emergency Medicine, to act with a
unified voice in Tallahassee. Its members are groups and
organizations dedicated to promoting Emergency Medicine in Florida.
In order to be successful at securing
Emergency Medicine's place at the table, we need your organization to
join People for Access to Emergency Care. Joining is easy.
PAEC
has three levels of membership:
Platinum ($15,000 per year),
Gold
($10,000 per year) and
Silver ($5,000 per year).
PAEC's goal is to raise
$200,000 for the 2006-07 legislative and election cycle. With these
funds we will be able to help elect candidates who support your issues.
Your membership will entitle you to participate in the decision-making
process.
