Physicians entered medicine to treat, heal, and stand beside patients through their most vulnerable moments – and to use their years of medical training to help patients make the best health care decisions. That’s why 95% of patients agree that doctors should be central to treatment decisions.

For every generation, vaccines work. In the last 50 years, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives, nearly 6 lives every minute. This World Immunization Week, we celebrate the physicians and families who help protect our communities from preventable diseases.

Every patient deserves a trusted physician to be on their side, explaining health conditions, answering questions, and ensuring patients truly understand their care. Physicians bring expertise, empathy, and years of training to the patient-physician relationship – and Medicaid protects a physician’s ability to provide care and ensures access to care for patients who need it most.

When we strengthen Medicaid, we strengthen the patient-physician relationship. More: www.nmms.org/your-care-is-at-our-core/
