🚨 Major Advocacy Milestone for Emergency Medicine in Ohio! 🚨

We’re excited to announce that Representative Thomas Hall has introduced HB 789, a crucial bill that strengthens physician‑led care in the emergency department — a win for both emergency physicians and the patients we serve.

What HB 789 Does:
• Requires on‑site physician coverage in hospital and freestanding EDs
• Ensures physician oversight of medical and nursing staff with immediate availability
• Guarantees ongoing physician involvement in coordinating emergency care

This legislation underscores a simple truth: when patients come to the ED in their most vulnerable moments, they deserve access to a physician trained for the complexity and urgency of emergency medicine.

📅 That’s why Ohio ACEP Advocacy Day on May 13 is more important than ever.

There are rare moments when our collective voice can shape the future of our specialty — and this is one of them.

Now is the time to stand up, speak out, and champion the standard of care our communities deserve.

👉 Register today and join us on May 13. https://f.mtr.cool/whxtacliyy

A strong turnout is essential to demonstrating our commitment to advancing HB 789 and protecting patient safety across Ohio.
